Casas de Indianos

One striking feature of Begur is the large colonial-style houses: Casas de Indianos. These homes are a reminder of the emigration of Begur’s residents to Cuba. In the 19th century, many Catalan entrepreneurs went to Cuba. A large part of them returned when Cuba gained independence. These people are now known as Indianos. The strong relationship between Cuba and Begur is still celebrated every year. This celebration is called Fira d’Indians and always takes place on the first weekend of September. Tip: Bring white clothes, as everyone wears white during this festival!
