Further details
Begur - This charming hillside town with its cobbled streets offers the visitor an excellent choice of Catalan restaurants, tapas bars and shops.
The main square has entertainment in the high season and there are several cellar bars and a couple of discos.
The overall atmosphere is very Spanish with local artists' paintings and crafts displayed in the square during the summer. Every Wednesday there is a market sellling fruit/veg clothes and accessories.
There are excellent supermarkets, specialist fishmonger, butchers' shops and freshly baked bread available in many shops.
The old town of Begur is situated some seven hundred feet above sea level, 3 km inland and enjoys superb views over the coastline. Enjoy a gentle stroll around the cobbled streets of this romantic town which shelters at the foot of a 16th century castle. This fortified town with its preserved walls and five magnificent keeps (16th and 17th century) is built on three hills, with the castle, the town and a residential area on each, all within an outcrop standing in the Mediterranean Sea and providing the perfect area to explore over and over again.
There are strong Catalan and local traditions. History, arts and crafts, mixed with exclusive shops in exceptional surroundings – and all five minutes from a beach. There is much to see and do in this region including a visit to LA BISBAL (about 12 km away) - the pottery capital of Cataluña, or the nearby fortified villages of Pals and Peratallada which are steeped in history and an absolute delight to visit.
Some of the most inviting towns are southeast of Girona. Calella de Palafrugell embodies the appeal of the region. The main activity here is simply soaking in the beauty of the forested cliffs hugging the beach and the rock formations jutting into the azure Mediterranean. This can be done quite nicely while sunning on the sand or sitting in a seaside cafe. Or for those feeling more active, a 30-minute-long, cliff-top walk beside the sea
