The savory aroma of coal-roasted pork wafts over a corner of Puerto Vallarta, permeating a line of tourists and locals clutching cans of beer from a nearby Oxxo convenience store.

Anticipation builds as you make the eight-mile drive across Canada’s longest bridge, which links New Brunswick in mainland Canada to the country’s smallest province, Prince Edward Island (PEI).

Inland, the scenery unfurls like a pastoral landscape, with rolling hills blanketed in colourful swaths of lupins come summer.
