Waves push against the coastline beneath the 16th‑century walls of Fortaleza San Felipe, while vendors’ calls thread through the shade of palm avenues. The city doesn’t ask to be discovered so much as to be read: wood‑frame Victorian houses, pastel facades, and the sudden canopy of umbrella art on Calle de las Umbrellas.
