How to post more photos than the rules allow – use collages. You can combine several of your pics into a single collage pic by using this free (you need to provide email) online tool. So by using this tool, each pic submitted may actually be many more pics combined. https://www.fotor.com/create/collage/

Language Tricks: English speakers who try to learn Spanish soon learn they already know a lot of words. Almost anything ending in “…tion”, can be changed to “…cion”, move the accent to the end (or cut off the end for the Andaluz touch), and the word is generally understood in Spanish. Action becomes acción, invention becomes invención, traction becomes tracción, etc.
Well here is some more good news for us Spanglish speakers. What may have started as a tongue-in-cheek joke among Spaniards has now infected the language: Anglicisms are everywhere. Here are some English words and phrases that now work in most of Spain.
-‘50:50’[fifty-fifty]. The universal either-or.
-‘Crazy’ [crray-Z]
-‘Fake’ [fay-k]. As in fake news or Ropa fake (counterfeit clothes). Everyday speech in Spain has been no more immune to the charms of fake news phraseology than anywhere else. Drop this little gem in next to anything you don’t like but can’t be bothered to actually debate.
-‘Fan’ [fan]. The term ‘amante’ (‘lover’, often used for illicit relationships) used to be the word to use when you had strong feelings for something. And now it’s something else: a word from English.
-‘Feeling’ [feel-ing]. The word ‘feeling’ itself has not only dropped into Spanish, but made a strong play for the most-used English word.
-‘Game over’ [gaym-ohver]. A popular TV, movie and social media term that has gained universal recognition.
-‘Heavy’ [hehv-ee]. Refers both to classic rock (your AC/DCs and your Iron Maidens) and anything vaguely deep, strong or powerful.
-‘Oh my God’ [oh-mai-got].
-‘Show / performance’ [per-fohrm-ahnce] [sh-ohw]. These are ‘unnecessary anglicisms,’ according to the Real Academia Española, charged with protecting the correct use of the Spanish language. Which is EXACTLY what we’re looking for.
-‘Vintage’ [Vin-tahj]
