Holiday homes in Begur
Begur is a picturesque town in the north-east of
Spain, about a ninety-minute drive from the border with
France. The town is slightly inland from the coast, where the famous resorts of the Costa Brava are located. Begur is less known than popular holiday resorts like
Lloret de Mar, but it still has plenty to offer for a wonderful holiday in the sun in Spain. The town's rich history dates back to Moorish rule, and this can be seen in some of the street names, such as ‘Calle de Moros’. So, when you rent a holiday home in Begur, you’ll be staying in a special place. And that’s not all, you could also go for a
special holiday home: what about a luxury safari tent with all modern comforts?
Exploring Begur and the surrounding area
Begur is built on a mountain, where the ruins of a medieval fortress from the 16th century towers above the town. From there, you’ll have a beautiful view of the surroundings and the Mediterranean Sea in the distance. Begur itself consists of a maze of characteristic streets, alleys and squares. The village centre is formed by Placa de la Vila, a busy square with the 17th-century Eglesia Parroquial de Sant Pere (Parochial Church of Saint Peter) as the main attraction. From Begur, you can go on numerous nice daytrips, but you’ll need to have a car or rent one. It will take you less than an hour to reach the beautiful beaches of
Platja d’Aro,
Sant Feliu de Guíxols and
Santa Cristina d'Aro. So, when you rent a holiday home in Begur, you won’t have to drive far for a lovely day full of sun, sea and sand.
