I never tire of the beautiful buildings in Begur. The homes are decorated with details: mosaic tiles in the entrance and terrace, fresco wall murals on the outside of the homes, antique white lace trimmed, cotton, white curtains. If one is lucky enough and has a chance to peek in an open window, the home is usually very neatly organized and the furniture is antique. All homes are built on top of medieval ruins and sometimes even Roman ruins beneath those. Most of the buildings in the pictures were built mid 19th C after their owners returned from Cuba after making a fortune in various trades: flour, fabric, tobacco are a few I have read about. It seems the people of Catalan sailed for Cuba to make their money and then returned home to build themselves a villa.<\/div>\n
