More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step through a bright storefront on Calle Duarte and the room answers with percussion and the sweet burn of rum. A welcome coconut shot loosens a grin; aprons appear like invitations. The rooftop feel spills into the space even while the Atlantic air presses against the city beyond—the ocean daring the heatline to keep up.
