Peralada

Castell d'Aro occupies a singular position on the Costa Brava. The town itself, with its fortified old quarter of Benedormiens, functions as a residential and cultural anchor between the beach resort of Platja d'Aro and the rural interior of the Baix Empordà. That triangulation matters for discerning travelers. You are never more than a few minutes from the sea, yet insulated from the noise that typically accompanies it.

Begur itself sits inland on a hill crowned by a ruined castle, but its gravitational pull extends to a constellation of calas and small coastal settlements that fall within its municipal orbit. Understanding the distinctions between these micro-territories is the first practical step toward choosing the right property.
