Holiday rentals and lettings in Begur

Begur is famous for its narrow streets, charming medieval buildings, and castle up on a hill. This location would be good for either a summer or winter break, as the old town will always be bustling with life. However, to be away from the hustle and bustle a little, there are also properties with far-reaching views of the Mediterranean, more suitable for lazing on the beach in summer.

Lovely holiday rentals are available in this quaint town, some located right on the beach for those itching for a dip in the water. Homes for groups of 4+ with gardens for private time outside. Pied-à-terre with a shared pool for a couple, all the way up to pet-friendly homes for 8 people, also with a swimming pool. For a more fancy, multi-family holiday, there are also rentals with views of the sea for 8+ people!

Begur is renowned for the beauty of its beaches and crystal-clear waters. Sa Riera, Aiguafreda, Sa Tuna, Fornells, and Aiguablava are some of the area's most popular beaches. You can be sure to find golden sands, rocky cliffs, and picturesque coves, with ideal spots for swimming, sunbathing, and water sports. However, for those who also like to spend some time at shore, Begur is also surrounded by beautiful natural landscapes that are perfect for hiking. The Camí de Ronda, a coastal path that runs along the Costa Brava, offers stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea and the surrounding countryside.

Once you've become familiar with Begur's centre, you can discover Sa Riera, a coastal neighbourhood with a picturesque sandy beach located about a mile south of Begur. And for another day, there's also Aiguafreda to the north of Begur, a small coastal village with a tranquil atmosphere boasting a beautiful cove and crystal-clear waters.

Apart from the obvious family afternoon on the beach, Begur has much to offer for you and your family. Visit Begur's historical side by checking out its medieval landmarks. Begur's Castle, high on a hilltop, offers panoramic views of the area and allows you to immerse yourself in the town's rich history. Plan excursions to nearby villages such as Pals or Peratallada, famous for their well-preserved medieval architecture. Ramble along their charming streets, visit historical sites, and enjoy the local food on offer.

Any seaside destination should have some water-based activities to enjoy. Book onto a snorkelling or diving excursion to experience the Costa Brava's underwater world. The area is home to many diving centres offering guided tours for families, allowing you to explore marine ecosystems and get up and personal with fascinating sea creatures. Alternatively, take a boat trip along the coastline to appreciate the stunning cliffs, hidden coves, and picturesque villages from the sea. Many boat tours offer different durations and itineraries, including stops for swimming or snorkelling.

Begur's Castle would be a great way to spend a few hours. It dates back to the 16th century and offers panoramic views of the town and the surrounding coastline.

If you come for an autumn break in November, not only will the weather still be more than agreeable, but you will also be able to enjoy the Fiesta de Tania, which is when the town celebrates Saint Tania.

In the rare case of a rainy day, the Begur Museum displays the town's history and culture through its exhibits and is a chance for the little ones to learn and discover interesting facts about the region.

Begur, as part of Catalonia, is of course famous for wine-making. Why not visit the nearby vineyards and taste the local wines?

Did you know? Begur has a strong cultural link with Cuba which can be seen immediately from the colonial influence, since, during the 19th century, many of Begur's neighbours emigrated to Cuba.
