The Parador de Aiguablava reopened its doors in 2020, after a thorough renovation that gave it a more modern and avant-garde style and additional services, but keeping its usual familiar and quiet atmosphere intact. With this thorough remodelling, Aiguablava is now a modern Parador that has retained its iconic nature. It is situated in a privileged area in the Mediterranean coast, with a stunning view of the Costa Brava from the clifftop of La Punta d’es Muts. The natural environment is surrounded by pine trees and has an almost pristine nature. There’s no better place to break away.

What to do in Parador de Aiguablava
The Parador de Aiguablava exhibits a portion of the distinguished collection of contemporary Catalan art included in the Parador group’s art collection. This exhibition includes a wide selection of sketches and some large important oil paintings such as “Monegros” by José Beulas, “Cennino Cennini o el libro del arte” by Modest Cuixart, and an interesting abstract painting by Joan Hernández Pijuán.

The exhibited works are a homage to the greatest exponents of contemporary Catalan art. These include pieces by outstanding artists such as Salvador Dalí, Rafael Durancamps, Antoni Clavé, Josep María Subirachs, Antoni Tápies and Joan Miró. Artists who are, in many cases, spokespersons for the international avant-garde, the forerunners and teachers of future generations who have opened up a broad international spectrum for Spanish contemporary art.
The surroundings of the Parador de Aiguablava offer a wide range of possibilities for all sorts of water sports, excursions and courses. Hiking is the best way to visit both the old town and the coves and forests, with several trails that enable you to discover places that would otherwise be inaccessible.
You can relax in its nearby coves, or go on a kayak excursion to the "d'en Gisbert" cave, float along the coast of Palamós in a vintage boat or visit medieval villages such as Pals or Peratallada. If you’re a fan of golf you can practice your favourite sport in the nearby greens of Golf Empordà and Golf de Pals and for novice golfers, at Gualta there is Pitch & Putt. If you’d like to explore the interior, we recommend a Segway tour. And for the most daring, there’s parachuting or a balloon ride.
The town of Begur, situated on the top of a hill, is only four kilometres away from the Parador. Its summit holds the main symbol of the town: its medieval castle. There also 19th-century houses built in the colonial indiano style. The Fira d’Indians fair is held on the first weekend of September when Begur revives memories of its indiano past. The Can Mario Museum, the Castle Fort of Peratallada, 12 kms away, and the Natural Reserve of Aiguamollos, 35 kms away, are some of many other options.
Coastal paths
The coastal paths or caminos de ronda are one of Begur's main and best-known attractions. Nowadays, they’re not just used to pass from cove to cove, but also as places to stroll while enjoying a landscape of incomparable beauty. Given its coastline, which is steep and full of cliffs, the coastal path of Begur is not an unbroken trail along 20 km of coastline, but is divided into 4 different sections.
