Begur (Baix Empordà County) is located in the heart of the Costa Brava, 200 m above sea level, commanding views of the most beautiful stretches of the Mediterranean coast. The beaches and coves with their crystal-clear waters, surrounded by leafy pine groves, are easy to access from the town. This privileged setting makes Begur a place of singular delight.
The town has a rich history that is reflected in its “Indiano”-style houses and the traditional trading and seafaring occupations of its inhabitants. Visitors will enjoy strolling around the narrow streets, walking up to the castle, or losing track of time among the many exclusive shops and craft workers’ stalls.
An atmosphere of taverns and bars enlivens the town centre throughout the day, leaving time to relax, unwind and breathe in the sea air. Begur is a member of the CittaSlow, network of towns and cities committed to improving the quality of life of its inhabitants.
I invite you to discover my Begur, the cobblestoned streets of my childhood, the fisher folk and shopkeepers, the place where I learned the traditional Empordà cuisine based on the products of our vegetable gardens, and the time-honoured philosophy of doing things properly, with love and dedication, to share and enjoy.
Narcís Caner,
