A VILLAGE WITH VIEWS, CASTLE AND BEAUTIFUL BEACHES, IDEAL FOR AN AFTERNOON SHOPPING. Begur is one of the largest towns in the area and a good plan for a afternoon of walks and shopping after having walked the Caminos de Ronda in the Begur area, or enjoy its beautiful turquoise blue coves: Aiguablava, Platja Fonda, Fornells, Aiguafreda, Sa Tuna, Sa Riera,… Its streets are pedestrianized and Begur Castle, located on top of a hill, is a highly recommended visit for its beautiful views of Las Islas Medas, the Pyrenees or Montseny on days with good visibility. The best known image of Begur is without a doubt the medieval castle that presides over the town, but we also find other interesting places to visit, such as the many Indian houses (colonial style buildings, built by Begurians who emigrated to the Americas in the 19th century). "fleeing the economic crisis of the time, and later returned with a significant fortune), the defense towers of the sixteenth century (legacy of the time when pirates sailed the Mediterranean and built by the Begurans as a means of refuge from their assaults ), the church (Gothic style building dedicated to St. Peter) or other historic buildings such as the Casino Cultural or the Escoles Velles.
