Located in the Costa Brava, Begur is still dominated by its medieval fortress and surrounded by an amazing amount of quicksand where the unique houses that were built by the natives were raised. Also, this village has a varied gastronomy, reason why eating in Begur is delicious.
The coastal village of Begur has a rich culinary tradition that mixes the best products from the sea with a prosperous agriculture and ranching from the interior. The base of the gastronomy is the sea, reason why the pescado de roca is one of the main ingredients – a fish that lives in this steep shore. This is, without a doubt, the culinary identity of Begur, and each spring the Campaña Gastronomica del Pescado de Roca is celebrated in its honor.
Apart from this, the local offer is completed with all types of stews and fish rices or meat and other classic dishes from the Catalan cuisine such as the snails, cocas, hunt meats and the escalibadas made with vegetable garden products. Enjoy these tasty products with a touch of the D.O.P. oil Aceite de L’Empordà, one of the most famous products along with the Pa de Pagès Catalá and the Apple of Girona (both with I.G.P.).
To complete any meal in the restaurants of Begur, nothing better than having a glass of the wines with D.O. that are produced in the region: Cataluña and Empordà.
