Tourist information about Begur in Spain. Travel to Begur and let Spain-Holiday.com guide and accommodate you |
Begur lies in a semicircle around a hill on which a castle stands, the 5 huge towers of which are officially protected as a site of national importance.
The castle is of the 15C and was occupied during the War of Independence.
From there the beach of Pals, the Medes Islands and the Empordā plain can be seen. The narrow, winding streets with the porticoed galleries of the houses are typical. These buildings belonged to the so-called Indianos, ie, natives of Begur, who emigrated in the 19C and returned rich.
After rounding the Cape of Begur, leaving a rough coast, the Bay of Sa Tuna provides the first contrast: the beach of eternally peaceful waters skirts a fishing village, where a 14C fountain and the ruins of a medieval tower are preserved and shared with the summer visitors.
Beach area:
Tamariu breathes tranquillity. In Tamariu, you can stroll along the coastal path, along the Beach of Els Liris (where there is a hut from 1872 owned by a group of partners), go for a trip to the spring at the Font den Cruanyes or go out in a kayak as far as Cala Pedrosa and on the first Saturday in September, you can listen to a habaneras recital on the beach.
