Órgiva

Highlight • Settlement

Orgiba, or Orgiva in English is the capital of the region and is a small town where you meet people living in alternative ways. On my last visit, I stayed at the campsite south of town. They are not that many and deserve to be pointed out. Orgiva is a good base camp to rest. The city center presents a monumental statue of the head of the hero of Cervantés: Don Quixote.

Atalaya Forest Ranger Cabin

Refugio de la Piuca

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The path that goes to the Refugio de la Piuca is very comfortable and pleasant (surrounded by pine trees), and it also has almost no slope.
This is a shelter that will only serve as a reference to start some routes since it is closed and we will rarely find an open back door that gives access to a woodshed.

Capileira Village

Highlight • Settlement

The small town of Capileira, in addition to being beautiful, is surrounded by trails to walk through to enjoy nature. Its architecture is typical of La Alpujarra: narrow, steep streets, flanked by houses with their traditional chimneys and "terraos" (the typical roofs of the region).

Pampaneira Village

Highlight • Settlement

This town belongs to the villages of the Alpujarra, it is one of the highest in Spain and one of the most beautiful. It is worth a stop to discover its narrow and steep streets that still preserve authentic signs of the region.
