Orgiva, the capital of Las Alpujarras, situated on the Costa Tropical, in the province of Granada.
The early origins of the town appear to be during the Moorish occupation, when Orgiva was given to Boabdil, the dethroned Moorish king. Later the town was strategically important in the war between the Catholic monarchs and the Moriscos, the expelled Moors, who were finally overthrown in 1609.
The Iglesia de Nuestra Senora de la Expectacion is a twin-spire church, which dates from the 16th century.
