We were delighted with Aura’s spotless stone “Fishermans Cottage” in Begur. It’s the real thing, decorated with a coastal vibe, everything in blue and white. Downstairs, the is kitchen packed with every cooking convenience (no micro but we don’t use one). Upstairs a comfy big bed with shuttering windows to let in lots of light. No TV but who needs it when a sunset walk up the hill to the castle is up the street and the beaches a short drive down very tall cliffs.
Aura, who speaks perfect English, will give you hints on the best beaches, supermarkets and anything else you will need.
In April it can be chilly in Begur and the Mediterranean is COLD. But there are stone walkways between beaches with breathtaking views of its aquamarine waters.
We had no idea what Begur was like. What a surprise that it is a fabulous getaway from the bustle of big cities. In fact Barcelonians have their summer houses up in these seaside hills.
Free parking is a 2 minute walk. Streets are steep and narrow, corners sharp so only delivery cars are permitted. Heavenly quiet!
We were extremely lucky to have found this place in town and felt proud to live here like residents.
