Discover Spain’s amazing Costa Brava & charming seaside villages!
The town of Begur is a lovely seaside town in the Baix Emporda area of the Catalonia region of Spain. It is close to the Costa Brava coast between L'Estartit and Palamos.
Begur rests on a hill above the Mediterranean coast and is a charming seaside town with a historic town center and excellent nearby beaches and has its own medieval castle!
Begur is not directly on the coast but has a good local bus service with buses each hour to the beaches. The town of Begur is very pleasant and it is an enjoyable, not too steep of a walk to the castle from where you get some fabulous views of the sea - a very pleasant way to get some daily exercise!
The castle was built in medieval times and was destroyed during Napoleonic times. There is not much that remains of the castle that has splendid views worth a visit.
Folktales say residents on this street used to have to offer a glass of water to the lords of the castle as they passed by as a token of respect.
The town itself has an attractive old centre with narrow cobbled streets, a pleasant main square and lots of attractive well preserved houses including a number of grand colonial houses built by emigrants to Cuba and South America who made a fortune abroad and came home to build houses influenced by the Americas.
These beautiful historic homes include: Can Petu a grand house with a lovely interior; Can Pi with a south-facing garden (a feature of many of the returning emigrant's houses); Can Sora with beautiful frescoes of the Americas; Casa Bonaventura Caner Bataller and the Casa Josep Forment built in neo-classical style and many more and are they are well worth a look.
The Casa Pere Cortada Sabater has beautiful murals painted by Pere Cortada covering its walls. As it is now a restaurant you can admire these at the same time as you enjoy a nice meal.
Also in the town is the reconstruction of an 18th century hermitage that was destroyed during Spain's civil war and various 16th century defensive towers, part of the towns original fortifications.
As well as its beaches Begur has some wonderful coastal paths and some very nice hiking trails (senders) and old paths (camins vells) crisscrossing the countryside.
