What's more, the very reasonable green fee rates and the ready availability of tee times make the Costa Brava a real rising star in the world of golf.

Begur is a pretty medieval village with cobbled streets and whitewashed houses draping the hillside below the ruins of a stone castle. Catalan bars and restaurants specializing in seafood surround the central pedestrianized square. Service is friendly and children are welcomed and cherished by the Catalans. Locally produced wines compliment the fare. The vineyards producing the wines will welcome you to wine tasting. There are excellent supermarkets and specialist fishmonger and butcher shops. Freshly baked bread is available in many shops.
The local park is very close to the villa and is host to many fiestas and fieras during the summer months. Outdoor markets are commonplace in many local villages -on Wednesday Begur hosts it's own, selling fresh local produce and clothes/shoes.
For the fit among us, local activities include cycling, diving, fishing, golf, mountain biking, sailing, swimming, tennis, walking and wind surfing. The area is renowned for terrific diving with many local diving schools. Fabulous beach and cliff walking.
