Órgiva hits the limelight thanks to the Junta de Andalucía choosing the capital of the Alpujarra as the subject of a national pilot project on sustainable urban development.
A mega-big-wig in the Junta, who has an official title that strings together like a regurgitated Serbo-Croatian dictionary, said, “With the project, which is on a pioneering level in Spain, has the object of making Órgiva a town with less pollution, quieter, with a less stressing mobility. In other words, we’re trying to change Órgiva first, and then the towns around it, into more inviting places and with a better quality of life.”
Well, the said big wig, María José Asensio, rattled on a bit more about how wonderful Órgiva is going to be and that the locals will get issued with harps and personal mobility clouds for getting around on and that’s about it, Folks. Nevertheless, watch this space!
