You step out of the vehicle onto blue-gray cobblestones and the salt air hits—Old San Juan's walls still hold the echo of canon fire and merchants from the 1500s. From the ramparts of Castillo San Felipe to a quick walk through a plaza, the city announces itself in color: painted facades, church bells, and a skyline that trades colonial masonry for the glass of Condado.
