The Costa Brava/Catalonia region

The 'Costa Brava' is translated as the 'wild coast' and when you see the coastline here you will understand why with tiny little coves and bays found in amongst the cliffs it is not surprising that the area is so unspoilt.

This part of Catalonia is widely renowned for its good food and wines. There are many great restaurants in the area from the cheap and cheerful pizza parlours to the michelin starred gourmet restaurants. All have the same thing in common they are all extremely good value for your money.If cooking is your passion, then local raw ingredients are fantastic with fresh fish and shellfish, vegetables, fruit, breads and cheeses available locally in the market on a daily basis. There are a number of local vineyards only too happy for you to share their knowledge and taste their wines. All in all this part of the relatively undiscovered Spain is a feast for all your senses.
Begur is a medieval village with lots of character at the base of the castle ramparts. There are no high rise buildings or tacky mass developments The centre of the village is pedestrianised and a maze of charming narrow streets with some facinating architecture. There are many wonderful restaurants to suit all tastes and budgets. There are lots of small shops and boutiques in the centre of the village near the church square. This square tends to be the focal point for entertainment in the evenings with many artisan markets, art festivals, sardanas dancing and children's activity programmes running all summer. In the local park ,which is just around the corner from the villa, there are facilities for both smaller children and teenagers alike. Of course the local beaches have to be the biggest natural facility we have. Sa Riera is just at the bottom of the hill above the villa and nearby Aigua Blava, Sa Tuna, Aigua Freda and Pals mean you are spoilt for choice!

Begur / Begur Mas Gispert area

The picturesque town of Begur nestles in the hillside under its 16th Century fortified castle, many of the narrow cobbled streets at its base are now pedestrianised and the hub of the town itself.
With wonderful views of the sea it is set 700ft above sea level and close to many different sandy coves and bays. The old centre of the town is the main entertainment area with numerous bars and restaurants and a couple of nightclubs. During the high season there is a wealth of entertainment aimed at all ages from puppet shows, face painting etc., for the children to traditional Catalonian 'sardanas' dancing in the square during the evenings.
In fact the church square plays a major role in all activities during the summer and is the location of artisan markets, art fairs, classical concerts, the weekly market each Wednesday, the open air disco (for all ages from 8 to 80!!) An ideal place to meet friends have fun or simply watch the world go by.
The fact that the local beaches are all relatively small and the land hilly has helped keep the area relatively unspoilt. There are no high rise developments in this area, all development is low key and mostly privately owned. Because the area is unsuitable for large tour operators, there is none of the commercial mass development that is prevalent in other locations along the Costa Brava.
The Local Authority has an active 'Green' environmentally friendly policy, with strict planning regulations maintaining the overall charm of the area. The pine forests, which give the beaches their unique backdrop, are protected and together with the naturally rugged coastline make these some of the most beautiful beaches in the Mediterranean. Unlike other parts of Spain these distinctive beaches along this part of the Costa Brava are stunning without the crowds, Within the immediate area of Begur town there are some wonderful coastal villages all of which were at one time fishing villages.
Each is distinct now with a unique charm, some larger than others but all with a genuine Spanish ambience with small restaurants, bars and shops just a stones throw from the unspoilt beaches. The beaches of each little bay are all distinct and have their own individual charms, some larger than others, some more lively than others, all with crystal clear water and wonderful scenery. Aigua Blava and Fornells lie to the South of Begur, the beach at Aigua Blava is a gently sloping and sheltered, sandy beach with crystal clear waters. There are moorings in the bay and a small jetty allowing yachts men to pull up for a lazy lunch in one of the small restaurants on the tiny beach.
There are no high rise developments or English fish and chip shops. There are some small hotels and guest-houses catering for tourists. It is a great place to come in the evening to watch the sunset and try the local tapas. Agua Gelida is close to Tamariu, yet far enough away to enjoy the peace and quiet of the wonderful scenery yet close enough to enjoy the delights of the nearby bars and restaurants.
Coastal walks and forest tracks are amongst the most beautiful in Spain, the scenery is spectacular and totally unspoilt making it one of the most desirable holiday locations. Casa de Campo is a quiet inland area with a small number of privately owned villas set amongst the pine forest. With walks through forest paths and country drives to the beaches it is a nature lovers dream location.

Pallafrugell is the nearest large town. About 4 km from the coast, Pallafrugell is a typically Spanish town, with all the facilities of a market town. On Sunday morning it is home to a huge market, which takes place all year round. During the week there is a covered market with a fabulous selection of fruit, vegetables, fish and shellfish, meat and poultry. The medieval centre of the town is pedestrianised and is the main shopping area. Property Cliff ViewThere are numerous bars and restaurants serving typical Catalan dishes and tapas. There are a number of supermarkets and specialist shops where you should be able to find any thing you may need. The central town square offers a venue for street entertainment, check it out during the Sunday morning market.

How to get there

Begur is one of the most special villages in the Costa Brava Region. This villa is in Begur itself and is a short stroll to the centre of the town with all the shops, boutiques, bars and restaurants nearby. Yet the villa is in a quiet cul de sac overlooking Sa Riera bay and the Medes Islands so in fact benefits from the best of both worlds.
Lots of people drive their own cars from mainland Euopean countries or the UK and Ireland. Begur is about an hour south of the French border and approx 90 minutes from Perpignan easily accessible on the AP7. It is also approx 90 minutes North of Barcelona. If driving is not an option then Girona is the nearest airport serviced by Ryanair (45 mins) who also fly to Perpignan and Reus. Barcelona is a hub airport with numerous international connections and a number of low cost carriers including Easyjet, Spanair, etc., We have a detailed directions sheet available for people staying and if you do get lost or run into problems we will be here to advise. We can also arrange for you to be collected from the airport if you wish.

Guestbook

We have just come back and are now already planning our holiday in your fantastic villa for next year! We loved everything about the villa. The standard was much higher than we expected (and we were accustomed to from previous holidays in Spain). You really have thought of everything, it really is a home away from home. Our grandchildren are still asking when they can come back to their little house by the pool they had so much fun ! ..... Mereille and the rest of the Grouvain family, Toulouse.

Thank you for your hospitality. It really is important to have somebody nearby when things go wrong. Arriving so late at night we certainly didn't expect to be greeted as we were and made feel so much at home in Villa Robles it made a bad situation into a good experience. We had a fantastic time in a fantastic villa and hope to see you in 2008. Ann and Gerry Baxter, Luton, Beds.

Great villa, great service, great location, great golf, what more can I say? How about next year? Kenny Joy
