Órgiva:
Órgiva is on the edge of Sierra Nevada National Park (UN Biosphere Reserve), in one of Europe´s most spectacular and peaceful areas, Las Alpujarras. The beauty of the area is quite outstanding with high mountains, snow capped for much of the year, and the fertile Guadalfeo valley providing an oasis of green. The EU has officially classified our skies as the cleanest in Europe!! 1 hour from Granada and 30mins from Salobreña on the coast. Our nearest international airport is Málaga, 2 hours away.

La Alpujarra:
This region was inhabited by Phoenicians and Romans, but the eight centuries of Arab domination gave them its peculiar architecture, its water irrigation system, its cuisine and even its name. Isolated and with difficult access along centuries, this steep land has kept itself nearly untouched, as if the Alpujarra had been stopped in time. The villages of the Alpujarra, with its whitewashed houses, spread themselves along the slopes between green forests.
The Guadalfeo River divides longitudinally the Alpujarra into two sections, the result of this being the High Alpujarra and the Low Alpujarra. In the middle of this valley is located Órgiva, the capital of Las Alpujarras. This town is rich in culture, gastronomy and wonderful views. Also it is ploughed by an unlimited number of walking routes.
