Begur


Nestled between mountains and the sea, Begur is steeped in history and atmosphere. Take a stroll and discover colonial-style houses, fascinating museums and a crumbling medieval castle, complete with dramatic views towards the Mediterranean Sea.

Like your historic towns with plenty of atmosphere? Begur really comes alive at night, especially if you’re here in summer. Live music and dancing floods the streets and restaurants fill up with tourists and locals alike, who’ve come to sample delicious food ranging from Spanish to Italian to Cuban. 

Just a short drive away are the dazzling beaches of the Costa Brava, where you can laze on golden sand and swim and snorkel in clear turquoise waters. We’ve owned apartments and villas in Begur for years and in our eyes it’s one of the most magical towns in the region!

To the north of Begur is the quintessentially Spanish Sa Riera, a former fishing village blessed with fine golden sand. Chill out on the beach or take in the stunning views from one of the excellent seafront restaurants.  

Platja de Pals offers warm sand, a welcoming atmosphere and a wealth of water sports. Spend the afternoon sailing or windsurfing then relax at a beachside bar, safe in the knowledge that you’re enjoying one of Costa Brava’s best kept coastal secrets!

Backed by a steep cliff and accessed by winding stairs, Platja Fonda is a hidden gem of grey sand and clear water that’s miraculously crowd-free. Whilst you’re here, why not follow the coastal path to Aiguablava and marvel at the stunning scenery?

You’ll find tons of activities within easy reach of your holiday home in Begur. This area is famed for its glorious coastal pathways so pull on your walking shoes and hit the trails! Discover unspoilt bays, lively villages and peaceful viewpoints as you do so. 

Not into coastal walks? Begur is brimming with history and culture. If you’re here in July or August check out the town’s music festival, which showcases pop, jazz and classical to an exuberant international crowd.  

If history’s more your style, spend some time exploring Begur’s Colonial houses, which include Can Sora – a Cuban-style mansion full of beautiful frescoes, and Casa Bonaventura Caner Bataller – a whimsical neoclassical gem.

Begur isn’t all sun, sea and sightseeing. You can get some serious shopping done here, too, whether you’re looking for high street bargains or traditional trinkets. 

To sample authentic Catalan shopping culture, head to the elegant streets of Old Town Palamos. You’ll find quaint boutiques selling local crafts, clothing and gourmet gifts, as well as the bustling Municipal Market. What should you look out for? Traditional woven baskets are a safe bet, as are foodie gifts such as anchovies packed in oil. 

Just a stone’s throw from your Begur villa is Centre Commercial Cavallers. Hop on the bus and spend the afternoon browsing discount designer gear and electronics. To stock up on famous Catalan pottery head to La Bisbal Ceramics. It houses bespoke, eye-catching works, crafted by some of the leading ceramic artists in Catalonia.

Seafood is a must around these parts, with restaurants serving fish pulled fresh from the sea that morning. The local lobster is renowned, and prawns, sea bream and seafood paella regularly appear on restaurant menus. 

Should you want to dress up and dine out in style, head to Girona, where you’ll find a clutch of fine-dining restaurants, including several with Michelin stars. 

Rather stay in and self-cater at your villa in Begur? Make sure to visit the Municipal Market in Palamos, where you can pick up wonderfully fresh meat, fish and vegetables, not to mention a mouthwatering selection of sweet pastries.

Home to golden beaches, lush countryside and a wide selection of family-friendly villas, Begur is a fine choice for you and your kids. Treats such as private pools and spacious gardens mean it’s easy to relax and spend all day at your holiday rental. But if you want to get out there’s lots to entertain you and your brood.

Safe swimming coves and soft sand are just the starting point. There are water sports galore, kid friendly hiking and biking trails and even family-friendly offering horseback rides along the headland, paths and forests. 

Add to that fun-filled water parks and adventure centres, magical sailing trips and a host of kid-friendly food and you’ve got family holiday heaven.
