What is wrong with my href to the top of the page in the anchor?

Would love a hint on what is wrong with my code

index.html 
<!doctype>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>My trip to Spain</title>
  </head>
  <body>

    <img alt="A picture of me in Spain" src=images/spain.jpg>
    <p>Here is a picture of me in Spain last summer!</p>
    <a href="#top”>Go back to the top of the page.</a>

  </body>
</html>

href="#top” is looking for an element with a tag of id="top" and there isn't one in the code you showed.

Here's a working demo:

P.S.

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

Should have quotes around the src attribute: 

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