The Alhambra: A MOJO’s Perspective

The Calat Alhambra (or Red Castle) stands as one of Spain’s and Europe’s most magnificent sites. That’s why, when our Granada Spring ’12 MOJO Yelitza Rodriguez received an assignment to photograph one of her CEA excursions, she chose her trip to La Alhambra without hesitation. Feast your eyes on the beauty of this historically magical landmark through the eyes – and lens – of Yelitza.
