Why You Should Visit the Bohemian Village near Sierra Nevada Mountains

Have you ever heard of the Bohemian Village of Orgiva? The Bohemian Village is nestled in a valley in Orgiva and is 20 kilometres from Capileira. This fertile village is the largest town in Las Alpujarras. Situated near the soaring Sierra Nevada Mountains, this village town will leave you with a lasting impression.

Kind People and Beautiful Scenery

The Bohemian Village is ultimately a peaceful town with a mild climate and friendly people who would notice you from the first sight and will readily offer a helping hand, especially when it comes to finding your way. Here, you’ll experience the unobstructed and impressive mountain views, and see the countryside that surrounds Orgiva, including the orange orchards and the ever-green groves of olive trees.

16th Century Church and Palace

If you would love some old sights, then the Bohemian Village is the place to be. Iglesia de Nuestra Senora de la Expectacion, which is a 16th-century church, is located here. The church features the sculpture of Christ, which is believed to be the work of renowned artist Juan Montanes. It’s also home to the fascinating Baroque façade.

After spending some time in the church, consider visiting one of the many atmospheric cafes that line up in the main street near the ancient church to have a taste of bohemian foods and drinks. With that said, the high chances are that you’ll fall in love with the choice of hotels and lodgings in this village town. Most of these hotels come with boutique accommodation for the comfort you’ve not had before. But, of course, you want to be sure to choose hotels with balconies or windows that afford you views of the Sierra Nevada Mountains and the countryside of Orgiva.

You can also head to the Palace of the Counts of Sastago and have firsthand experience of what the palace of the Great Captain Don Gonzalo Fernandez looked like.
