Casas de Indianos 

One striking feature of Begur is the large colonial houses: Casas de Indianos. These houses are a reminder of the emigration of Begur's residents to Cuba. In the 19th century, many Catalan entrepreneurs went to Cuba. A large number of them returned when Cuba became independent. These people are now known as Indianos. The strong relationship between Cuba and Begur is still celebrated every year. This festival is known as Fira d’Indians and is always held on the first weekend of September. A tip: bring white clothing, as everyone wears white during this festival!
