Organizing MacBook Air photo albums

MacBook Air Photos problem: Travel photos divided by country into separate albums. Two have many photos, so how do I make sub folders or albums within these? For example, some are of Madrid, some Barcelona, etc.

For clarification - you cant' make subalbums or subfolders in an album. (Albums only hold photos. Folders can hold sub folders and albums, but not photos.)

You create your organisational structure in folders, then add albums where needed in there.

Hi,

you can create folders and subfolders and add as many albums inside as you want.

Example: create folder "Travel" and create albums "Madrid", "Barcelona" inside this folder.

Thanks, I’ve been messing around and seem to have a solution. It’s labor intensive but seems to work.
