Given its ideal geographical location, its rich history and a restaurant scene to rival any in the Mediterranean, the Cap de Begur is one of Europe's best kept secrets.

"Summer in Begur means the intoxicating scent of pine and lazy days by the sea...the cape is remarkably varied: cliffs pirouette from the sea, Blue Flag beaches shelve gently into clear waters and the deep azure of coves such as Aiguablava teeters on the edge of fauvism"
