You step off the van onto the warm stone of the Malecon and the bay exhales salt and sunlight. A local guide gestures toward the seahorse statue as waves thread foam along the pier; the city unfurls in blocks of painted facades, open markets and tiled plazas. For the next few hours you move at the rhythm of the shore—short walks, photo stops and a visit where agave becomes the clear spirit everyone knows as tequila.
