Ideally located on the serpentine coastline of the Costa Brava, Begur possesses considerable natural beauty. With crystalline waters gently lapping golden sandy beaches, the town takes on an almost paradisiacal feel. Gorgeous coves are just waiting to be explored along the coast, promising a great day out filled with adventure.
Among the numerous activities that can be found in this area, one of the must-see sights is without doubt the striking medieval castle which stands proudly atop a hill overlooking the old town. A visit to the old huts of the fishermen hidden in the town will give you a scent of pine trees and the great outdoors. Wander through the old quarter that has been characterised by narrow winding streets where you will find exquisite boutiques, gastronomic delights as well as the culture and festivities for which the town is famed.
Begur has cultural links to the Caribbean country of Cuba and you can still see and feel the presence of Cuban traits and colonial influence everywhere throughout the town. These historical ties are still celebrated today, with a 3-day festival called ‘Fira d’Indians’ held every year in September - so if you are lucky enough to visit during this time, be sure to join in with the celebrations.
For lovers of watersports, Begur is the ideal location for diving with lots of great spots and plenty of dive centres to point you to the best spots. The beaches and coves in this region are the ideal place to lay down your towel and just relax on your holidays.
The scattering of semi-hidden coves and delightful fishing villages surrounding Begur are overflowing with charm. Take a trip to the splendid Sa Riera or the tiny beach of Sa Tuna and enjoy a paella (or arroz, if we're being technical) on the seafront, Take a leisurely stroll among the pine-lined footpaths that wind along the coast and explore these quaint whitewashed towns before setting down a towel on the sand and basking in the warm Mediterranean sunshine.
