Orgiva holidays A fabulous cutural holiday destintion in the sunny region of Andalusia

Orgiva holidays - located in southern Andalusia on the south slopes of the Sierra Nevada mountain range, Orgiva is known as the gateway to the Alpujarras, an historical region and very popular tourist hotspot. The town sits in a lush valley along the river Guadalfeo and is surrounded by olive, lemon and orange groves. Between Sierre Nevada and Sierra de Lujar, Orgiva is the perfect base in which to explore the mountains and the many remote villages higher in the hills. If you are looking for something a little different, Orgiva isn't far from the hippy community of Beneficio and other off-grid communites, El Morreon and Los Cigarrones.

A convenient bus service connects Orgiva to the coast, Granada, Malaga and many of the nearby villages. The town itself has many bars down the main street where you can sit outside in the sunshine and watch the world go by. There's a weekly market in town selling local produce and handmade crafts. Plenty of outside activities are avaliable including horse riding tours, biking & hiking, as well as off-roading trips. Orgiva's envious climate makes for a fantastic holiday destination anytime of year but especially during the warm spring and summer months.
