Oficina de Turisme de Begur

Gayle and I loved our visit to the Costa Brava and our stay at the Parador De Aiguablava. Begur is the nearest town and we enjoyed exploring its Castle and the surrounding Mediterranean beaches. This is one area Gayle really wanted to spend more time, particularly regarding a side trip to Cadaqués that never happened. In fact Gayle would have gladly cut a day off our Barcelona plans to stay here longer. Maybe next time?
Begur is small (~4000 inhabitants) and is an important tourist attraction in the Baix Empordà. During the summer, the population can exceed 40,000 people. Gayle and I were here in October and we pretty much had the place to ourselves.
The Village has an important historical remnants that go back in early history. The Castle of Begur is a good example of medieval remains. The Town of Begur also includes Esclanyà (with a Roman town centre), Aiguafreda, Sa Riera, Sa Tuna, Aiguablava and Fornells. Some of the most prestigious beaches of the Costa Brava can be found here. It was too cold to frolic in the water, but the scenery and crashing waves were outstanding.
