Órgiva is a municipality in the Alpujarra mountains in Spain. It has a population of around 6,500 and lies in a depression between the Sierra de Lujar and Sierra Nevada. In recent years it has become a popular tourist destination for those visiting La Alpujarra, and the town is often described as "the gateway" to this area. Bus services connect Órgiva to the coast and Málaga, to Lanjarón and the provincial capital Granada, and to the villages of the Alpujarras.
