Begur is situated in Catalonia, Spain at the Mediterranean Sea
approx. 80 Km south of the French/Spanish boarder and approx. 60 Km
from Girona (Airport). The distance to Barcelona’s international
airport is approx. 150 Km.
Begur is approx. 10 minutes by car or
shuttle bus (in season) from
beautiful beaches like Sa Tuna, Aiguablava, Aiguafreda and Sa Riera giving the opportunity to enjoy all kinds of water sports.
This part of the Costa Brava is much more a getaway for Spaniards
than it is a Mecca for foreign tourists. In addition to the
Mediterranean coast
with its many distractions for sun, sea and beach lovers, the area
is popular with golfers with a choice of 9 superb courses within
easy reach. It also possesses some of the best diving in Spain, with
the only protected national marine park. Other popular activities
in the Begur area include walking, mountain-biking and horse riding, all of which are
easily accessible all year round. In the winter, one is able to
enjoy the luxury of winter sunshine on the coast, with the
occasional excursion (2 hours away by car) to the Pyrenees for skiing.
The old town of
Begur is found high on a hilltop, presiding over the surrounding
Catalonian countryside, offering her visitors fantastic views,
interesting cobbled streets and narrow tree lined roads to explore.
The central square is an ideal resting place to sit and enjoy the
Catalonian way of life over a glass of the excellent local wine,
made from grapes grown in the nearby hills. The buildings in the
village are beautifully restored and
preserved.
