The tour starts where the cobblestones meet the sea — salt on the air, colorful facades sliding by as your guide leads the group down narrow lanes toward the next bite. Cafecitos steam in tiny doorways, and a rum cocktail waits to punctuate the conversation; the city moves around you at street level, insisting you slow down and taste.
