The sound of the Pacific pushes against the Malecon as you step from an air-conditioned van into salt-scented sunlight. Seagulls quarter the breeze, and the world's tallest natural lighthouse—El Faro—perches like a watchful island on a rocky headland. Walking here feels kinetic: vendors call, the sea dares you to look over the edge, and the city’s painted façades hold stories in their cracks.
