Orgiva Tea Garden

GOOD NEWS. WE WILL OPEN AGAIN STARTING ON WEDNESDAY JULY 1ST & FOR EVERY WEDNESDAY IN JULY. WE WILL THEN MAKE A DECISION WITH REGARDS TO THE FOLLOWING MONTHS. WE ASK ALL GUESTS TO PLEASE FOLLOW COVID19 REGULATIONS & GUIDELINES & TO BE MIND FULL OF ALL OTHER VISITORS. THANK YOU Kay & Bernard The Orgiva Tea Garden at the Las Chimeneas finca has evolved from a barren patch of land that had been abandoned for over 30 years into a beautiful tranquil garden split over three very different levels and covering about 5000 sq m. The philosophy with regards to the planting has been to concentrate mainly on Mediterranean plants with help from shade providing trees and also to take into account our animals as many have free roam over the garden. Refreshments are available including homemade sandwiches, a variety of teas ,coffee and other drinks and of course Kay's famous delicious homemade cakes. Entrance is 3€.

Visited on the last Wednesday in October and spent several hours listening to the magnificent guitar playing of José Vilchez and touring the interesting gardens. Delighted that Bernard and Kay were so welcoming and made themselves available to chat about what they have achieved and how they had done it. For us the real highlight was José Vilchez whose playing in such wonderful, tranquil surroundings was magnificent. A light lunch of their delicious sandwiches in the dappled shade listening to such good music was definitely a highlight of our holiday. We can't wait to repeat this next year.

The owner of our holiday apartment recommended Alpujarra Bikes; excellent advice. After discovering that the highest point on the Iberian peninsula was just behind where I was staying, I thought, "Mountain Bike". Brian and Lynn advised on routes (plus some extra singletrack I might be interested in) and rented me a full-sus (Mondraker Dune) bike for the day. A number of hours later I had taken many photos and reached the highest point allowed on a bike by the Park Authority (3100m). Then came the return... 27km of downhill... enough to put a big smile on anyone's face. I won't be forgetting that one; thankyou Brian & Lynn.

I had 3 days riding in the beautiful mountains and countryside around Orgiva. Becky instantly makes you feel at home and with the informal atmosphere adapts to what ever you want whenever possible. The trek up the mountains on narrow tracks is a different and great experience but you always feel safe. Everything is at a very relaxed pace giving you time to enjoy the countryside but with lots of opportunities for cantering if you want to.
