Contexto"
"At the end of a dead end street **lies a city jewel.** It has taken the form of a small garden lined with rows of everything from peppers to eggplant..."
Es un jardín donde va la comunidad para recoger legumbres, que son gratis.
Algo como "hay una ciudad que parece una joya?"
Gracias!

: La mejor. Tampoco creo que haya que decir "una de las joyas". "Una joya" es sucinto y correcto.

Gerardo Garcia Ramis
: Indeed, "joya" or variations thereof doesn't quite cut it (no pun intended), but you should have pitched for a "5".

Thnx Gerardo! Quite, in keeping with meaning and intent. I would say "brilla un oasis" this would convey the "brightness" quotient of the original w/out using the mislayed word. "jewel"

Tomás Cano Binder, BA, CT
: Perdón Gabe, pero por mucho color que le falte a "una joya de la ciudad" (o derivados), el inglés no dice nada de oasis. Claro que tenemos que ser creativos, pero sin decir cosas que no se dicen en el texto de origen. Saludos.

Como el contexto suena poético creo que yace rima mejor.
También: Yacer es la traducción literar del verbo "to lie"

Corrección: No es "literar" sino "literal"
Perdonen mi error gramatical.
