Casa Lleó Morera
Domènech i Montaner’s 1905 contribution to the Manzana de la Discordia, with Modernista carving outside and a bright, tiled lobby in which floral motifs predominate, is perhaps the least odd-looking of the three main buildings on the block. In 2014 part of the building was opened t

Castell de Begur
There is little to explore aside from the ragged ruins of this antique castle, in much the same state as when it was wrecked by Spanish troops to impede the advance of Napoleon’s army in 1810. Clearly signposted from central Begur, a steep walk leads to the ramparts, with breathtak
