Built in the early 17th century in honour of the town’s patron saint, the Church of Sant Pere is a clear representative of the late Gothic style. Despite its sparse exterior decoration, it is advisable to visit its interior.
Colonial houses
During the 19th century, many people from Begur emigrated to the Americas with the intention of making their fortune. Some of them succeeded and after their return to Begur they filled the town with Indian influence. That is why today we can find many Indian houses such as Can Sora, Can Pi and the cultural Casino. Such is the Indiano influence on the town that today an annual event is still held in their honour, the Indiano fair. If you come to the town, it is without a doubt one of the places you have to see in Begur.
Indianos Fair
Year after year, during the first weekend of September, the town of Begur is filled with the Indiano theme for the celebration of the Indiano fair. During the fair, many events and activities are organised for the whole family to enjoy. You can dance to Cuban rhythms, sing a habanera and even enjoy incredible street shows.
