“ Orgaña is pretty much off the beaten track, although all of Lérida is quite rural and that's why some friends rented a 'casa rural' and invited us along - to escape the city and breathe clean air. When we went into Orgaña, we were on a mission to buy certain things as our accommodation was in the middle of nowhere, so when I went into El Portal alone to have a drink while the others were buying cakes etc, I was very pleasantly surprised by how accommodating they were to my heavily English-accented Spanish, especially in an area not overly known for pro-Spanish sentiment. Had a beer at the bar and chatted with a couple of locals while said cake was being bought and like many places, locals like foreigners making a linguistic effort. The bar staff were very nice to me - even allowed me to use the bathroom before knowing I was about to order anything from the bar. If you find yourself in Orgaña, it would be worth a visit as the people are nice - not sure about food though as we didn't go to eat, and besides, the time I spent in the bar was between lunch and dinner, so pretty quiet and chilled. Do bear in mind that I had no indication people in the town and in the bar spoke English, but maybe that was because I was speaking to them in Spanish. It might be a consideration the take into account... ”
