Are you into photograph?

Do you like photography? If you do, you are lucky! You can go to a photographic exposition in Motril! 

The inauguration is on Friday 19th at Casa de la Condesa, Motril. 

On the opening day there will be food and wine, but the exposition is going to be opened until 10th January!

If you visit the exposition, you can make a selfie and upload it onto a page of Facebook and you can win a photo shoot!
