Begur holidays Self catering villa holidays in Begur, Costa Brava
Begur, just 60km north of Barcelona in Catalonia and a few kilometers from the coast, is a colourful and exuberant medieval town full of charm and character.
It has some of the best beaches on the Costa Brava with cliffs, coves with the old fishermens huts and pine forests - in fact, you have a choice of 8 beaches with each one offering something slightly different in terms of the natural beauty that surrounds them.
The town itself is a treasure trove of colonial houses, boutiques, cafes, bars and restaurants and part of the evening entertainment is wandering around the narrow cobbled streets in the old quarter that date back to the time of the Moors.
