The municipality of Orgiva is located on the south face of the Natural Park of Sierra Nevada. Situated in the depression of the Guadalfeo, where the river Guadalfeo meets its affluent, river Chico de Orgiva, lies this town also known as the capital of west Alpujarra. A commercial town that traditionally has supplied all the region, mixes modern features in the layout and styles of life together with ancient characteristics of the Alpujarra, which makes this area a unique spot of the Spanish geography. Orgiva, is not only the judicial, health and educative centre but also a communication link from where four roads depart, one linking the Alupjarra with Salobrena and the Costa del Sol; another, through Lanjaron, leading to Granada; a third one, through Torviscon, leading to the coast of Granada and finally, another that goes to the heart of the Alpujarra, ascending to Pampaneira, Bubion, Capileira, Trevelez and other mountain villages. |
