Taking Photos in Spain
Take, ask for and share photos on a day out in Spain, from the camera to the group chat.
In Spain you 'hacer' a photo rather than 'take' it, you 'come out' well or badly in it ('salir bien/mal'), and everyone says 'patata' instead of 'cheese'. Asking a stranger for a photo at a viewpoint is completely normal. The cards follow a day in Granada with a friend who loves photography: the old streets, sunset at a viewpoint and sharing the photos afterwards.
