About Begur

Less than two hours north of Barcelona, Begur is a delightfully slow-paced town. Popular with those escaping Barcelona for the weekend, this Costa Brava destination invites visitors to unwind with wonderful food and wine, long countryside walks and dips in the Mediterranean Sea. The best places to stay in Beguar are scattered between the charming old town and the ocean, with some fantastic options to suit a range of tastes and budgets.

Explore Begur’s old town on foot for a sense of the area’s rich Moorish and Spanish history. You’ll find a plethora of boutiques, galleries, bars and eateries in the town itself, whilst the views from the hilltop medieval castle are not to be missed. Expect sensational cuisine at chic restaurants and simple family-owned spots alike — the outstanding reputation of Catalan cuisine is well-deserved.

Begur is set amidst vineyards and villages, perfect for winding walks, horse rides and cycling excursions. Visit Salvador Dalí’s crumbling castle at Pubol, or spend an afternoon in pretty Llafranc. There are beautiful beaches close to Begur, including sandy family favourites, hidden coves for quiet afternoons, and narrow inlets for keen sailors to discover. Sa Tuna and Sa Riera are great, as is the expansive Platja del Raco. The best places to stay in Begur fill up fast during the summer months, but spring and autumn travellers should have lovely weather without the crowds.
