Graduation Day in Spain
Congratulate a graduate, take photos with the sash and celebrate with the family in Spain.
At a Spanish university graduation the students wear a coloured sash called 'la beca', every class gets a framed photo montage, 'la orla', and the family goes out for a long lunch afterwards. People say 'enhorabuena' for an achievement. The cards follow a friend at Laura's graduation in Salamanca: the ceremony, the photos and the family lunch.
