I know orgiva quite well, riding around there is fantastic. I’m going to be in the area from 15dec all being well, hopefully all the way through til Jan, with road and mtb. get in touch I could show you around. if it was me i wouldn’t stay in orgiva, i’d stay further to the coast in salobrena or motril. the valley rideinto the mountains from these places is totally stunning and in fact you have a few more options direction wise plus you gain the option to see the sea, be a bit warmer on days off, avoid quite so many aging hippies, which orgiva has a lot of. not that i’m saying orgivanis a bad option at all though. it is nicely situated at the top of the lecrin valley and bottom of the valley from which the alpujarras mountains rise to the east.
I don’t know what the other option is like but i just absolutely love this area and can’t fault it really. it’s not just me, i always see pro teams in the area, last year i saw movistar, some trek women’s pro team, and rodriguez on his own (he’s from the area). i also saw the canadian national squad a year before, loads.
