La Taha – Holiday Apartment for Culture and Landscapes

La Taha deserves to be viewed in a way that allows landscape and history to stand side by side.

Nature

Órgiva lies in a fertile plain between four rivers. A network of irrigation channels and water basins makes the Órgiva valley appear green. Anyone who reads the landscape not only in terms of landforms but also in terms of visible water structures can consider both features separately.

Órgiva lies halfway between the Mediterranean coast and the peaks of the Sierra. These two reference points help you compare different landscape focuses.

Culture

The site of today's Parroquia de Nuestra Señora de la Expectación was formerly home to the first mosque in the Alpujarra. The tower of the Casa-Palacio de los Condes de Sástago played an important defensive role during the Morisco uprising. The Puente Triana was built between 1890 and 1895 so that the national road could be routed through Órgiva.

The former Don José Rivas schools were restored in 2013 to preserve them as part of Órgiva's cultural heritage. They were housed in a historic building constructed in the 1950s and were among the first schools established in the Alpujarras.

The Parroquia de Nuestra Señora de la Expectación was built in 1580 after the end of the Morisco uprising in the Alpujarras. The Parroquia de Nuestra Señora de la Expectación contains a depiction of the Cristo de la Expiración, which is attributed to the school of Martínez Montañés.

The Sala de Exposiciones de Pinturas y Esculturas con Motivos Quijotescos was established to mark the 400th anniversary of the publication of the second part of “Don Quixote” and displays paintings and sculptures depicting passages from the work.

Mining in the Sierra de Lújar dates back to ancient times. Anyone wishing to organise cultural topics by art, architectural history and mining history can consider these focuses independently of one another.
