QOTD: What Would You Go See If You Had Only One Day in…

Alhambra, Granada, Spain
Alhambra, Granada, Spain

What’s your favourite city (you don’t have to have actually been there)?

Suppose you have a chance to visit it, or re-visit, but just for one day. What would you do?

If it’s London, would you immerse yourself in the British Museum, punctuated by a pub lunch and a pub supper? If it’s Barcelona, would you hunt down everything Gaudi ever built?  If Paris, as much strolling along the Seine as you could fit in?

Granada is home to the Alhambra, an old Moorish palace with famous gardens. I’ve never been. Yet. I’ve been fascinated by it since forever, and have at least 5 books about it.

If I got to spend one day there, I’d stretch the rules and check in around noon to the parador there, one that allows you to actually spend the night on the grounds. I’d pend the afternoon seeing the palace and gardens. My fantasy is that they’d let me wander around the buildings and gardens all alone, during the night. In the morning, if I hadn’t been kicked out, more looking around. Then, sated, I could leave happy.

Now it’s your turn. “If I could spend only one day in _______, I’d go see _______.”
