Fall asleep inside history. Tonight you climb the red hill above Granada more than six hundred years ago, in the golden age of the Nasrid sultans, and you are taken in for the night as a guest of the court in the Alhambra itself. An old secretary of the palace walks you through the courtyards one by one as the lamps are lit: the long still pool that holds the moon, the hall whose cedar ceiling is a map of the seven heavens, the new courtyard where twelve marble lions carry a fountain and the water runs in channels under the arcades. You learn the secret of how a whole river was persuaded to climb the hill, so that every fountain in the palace is fed by nothing but falling water. You learn to read the carved writing that covers the walls, including the six words the palace repeats more than any others. Then the last call to prayer floats up from the city, the lamps go out one by one, and you are shown to a quiet room off a courtyard where a small fountain talks softly all night long.

You will hear water all night long, the signature sound of the palace: a narrow channel running, a small fountain close by, one deeper fountain falling far off, with a nightingale far down the valley and the hush of a warm summer night on the hill.

This is an extended sleep story of three and a half hours. The narration ends softly near the third hour, and then the fountains continue alone until the end. Black screen friendly.
