Begur:
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 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.
