Empowered by the celestial navigation secrets uncovered in Cádiz, Alejandro and his companions set their sights on the ancient city of Granada, where the stars themselves are said to have guided its founders to its location nestled in the Sierra Nevada's foothills. They theorize that the next piece of the puzzle lies hidden within the city's storied past, a link in the chain that will lead them closer to the hidden treasure.
Granada, a city where history is etched into every stone, presents a tapestry of cultures that have flourished side by side. The Alhambra, with its intricate palaces and verdant gardens, stands as a testament to the city's rich legacy, a place where the paths of conquerors, poets, and scholars have crossed.
Alejandro, intrigued by the historical accounts of astronomical observatories within the Alhambra, believes that the secrets of the next clue are hidden among the stars. His journey is one of reflection, where the celestial patterns become a map guiding their way forward.
Isabella's skills are put to the test in the bustling markets of Granada, where a stolen artifact, a device once used by ancient navigators to chart the stars, has recently surfaced. Her journey is one of stealth and cunning, navigating the shadowy underworld of artifact traders to recover the device, believing it to hold the key to their next destination.
Luis, drawn to the remnants of the city's ancient fortifications, finds parallels between the strategic battles of the past and their current quest. His journey is one of strategy, learning from the historical sieges and defenses to anticipate the moves of their relentless rival treasure hunter.
Sofia immerses herself in the archives of the University of Granada, where ancient manuscripts on astronomy and navigation hint at a convergence of knowledge between the East and West. Her journey is one of synthesis, where the blending of diverse cultures and sciences illuminates the path they must follow.
The episode reaches its zenith as the group reunites under the starlit sky of the Alhambra's Court of the Lions, where the recovered navigational device, aligned with the celestial configurations, reveals a hidden compartment within the fountain's intricate carvings. Inside, they find a scroll, not with a map, but a poem written by a forgotten astronomer, cryptically describing the location of an ancient observatory in the mountains, where the "sky opens its heart to those who seek."
However, their discovery does not go unnoticed. The rival treasure hunter, having followed them to Granada, launches a daring attempt to seize the scroll.
