Head over to El Racó beach, the largest beach, where you can enjoy magnificent views of the Medes Islands, or Fonda beach, which you’ll find in a secluded hideaway that has kept the beach pristine and unspoilt. The coves are also sure to amaze you. In fact, it’s said that the coves of Fornells are what inspired the name of the Costa Brava coastline, which means the Wild Coast in Catalan and Spanish.

The natural surroundings of Begur make this town the perfect destination if you want to enjoy some active tourism. Here, you’ll be able to go on boat trips, sailing and even scuba diving, as you’ll find several diving centres that will help you discover a truly magical seabed.

You should definitely try their rockfish, the town’s most characteristic dish.

Food in the evening was very poor..... if you can’t cook a steak and over cook fish  it’s not very good at all. Luckily we found some hidden gems locally which made our stay wonderful
