When encontrarse = 'located' is it reflexive or passive se?

The example 'Sierra Nevada se encuentra en la provincia de Granada.' seems to me to suggest passive 'se' rather than reflexive. Perhaps because I tend to translate it as 'is found' (passive). Is that an accurate translation?

Also, I've got in the habit of using the Latin American ubicar and estar ubicado. Are these considered incorrect in Spain?

recordar / acordarse

In the Superbike translation exercise, you translated "We'll always remember this day" as "Vamos a acordarnos siempre de este día". Why is "Vamos a recordar siempre de este dia" not also correct ?

In "Ella se viste siempre ..." above, is this subjunctive, if so, why?

Hi,

Prior to this lesson I was reading about the subjuntive case of verbs. It seems that in the sentence above, the subjunctive case has been used. It does not appear to satisfy the WEIRDO requirements.

Can you please tell me why 'ella se visite' has been used and not 'ella se visita'?

Thanks.
