Begur:
Set in the heart of the Empordà, the town and municipal district of Begur make up one of the most wonderful parts of the Costa Brava. Nestling between the Gavarres hills and the most beautiful part of this coastline, the village of Esclanyà and the small coves of Begur make up an unequaled physical setting.
The striking silhouette of the medieval castle overlooking the town, its numerous colonial-style houses, the layout and profile of the streets and alleys of the old town and the old fishermen's huts still conserved in the coves testify to a long and intense history in which pirates, sailors, coral gatherers, fishermen, wealthy emigrants returning from overseas and entire generations of Begur townspeople have populated these lands which, despite all the inevitable transformations, have lost not a trace of their roots or identity with the passing of time.
Activities:
Water sports and diving, hiking and cycling tourism, numerous golf courses, leisure and cultural events, gastronomic fairs, concerts and summer festivities and many other activities are held all through the year for visitors to enjoy. Begur offers an excellent choice of accommodation around the town and alongside the coves themselves.
Cuisine:
A wide range of restaurants offering classic or modern dishes, the guarantee of a great traditional coastal cuisine that is still maintained in many houses, the rice dishes, the 'sea and land' combination and the platillos that have contributed to giving international fame to Empordanese cooking, the vast selection of seasonal produce cultivated in the town and its surrounding region, and the Rock Fish gastronomic campaign - all of these offer countless choices of flavours and aromas to delight all palates.
