Órgiva

The town of Órgiva lies at 450 meters elevation in a valley between Sierra Nevada and Sierra de Lújar mountains, surrounded by agricultural landscapes and watercourses.

After the fall of Granada in 1492, the Catholic Monarchs initially designated Órgiva to King Boabdil before transferring it to Don Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba.

The Thursday market in Órgiva brings together local farmers, artisans, and residents who exchange products, maintaining centuries-old trading traditions in the town center.

Four major roads connect Órgiva to Granada, the Costa del Sol, and other parts of the Alpujarra region, with regular bus services operating between these destinations.

The municipality contains alternative communities, including Beneficio, where residents practice sustainable living methods and maintain communal agricultural projects.
