Hi Briona,

The src attribute is part of an <img> tag so it must go inside the tag, after the tag's name.

The result you're looking for is:

<img src="images/spain.jpg" alt="A picture of me in Spain">

If you need a refresher, then please watch the video about Image Tags again.

For further reference, take a look at the Image Element page at Mozilla Developer Network (MDN for short).
