.intro, span {} isn't working.

For some reason this is glitching. I've looked at the other "help questions concerning this and what I am doing seems to be right, just not working.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lake Tahoe</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
  </head>
  <body> 
    <header id="top" class="main-header">
      <span class="title">Journey Through the Sierra Nevada Mountains</span>
      <h1>Lake Tahoe, California</h1>
    </header>
    <div class="primary-content t-border">
      <p class="intro">
        Lake Tahoe is one of the most <span>breathtaking attractions</span> located in California. It's home to a number of ski resorts, summer outdoor recreation, and tourist attractions. Snow and skiing are a significant part of the area's reputation.
      </p>
      <a href="#more">Find out more</a>
    </div>
    <footer class="main-footer">

      <a href="#top">Back to top &raquo;</a>
    </footer>

Hi Hope, just remove the comma - the comma means, that this rule will apply for both class intro and any span - remove the comma and it will only apply to span inside class intro.

try removing the comma between .intro and span, see below

.intro span { font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; }
