The morning light slides across Puerto de la Duquesa as La Guantanamera eases out of berth 30, ten passengers leaning into the rail while the Mediterranean dares them to look away. Salt-slicked cliffs pass on the starboard side and the coastline of Manilva—low scrub, whitewashed hamlets, and olive terraces—unspools toward the horizon where the sea keeps its secrets.
