Taxi to Begur and Sa Riera

Hilltop castle, scattered coves and the villa country of the Empordà

€240fixed, whole car 1 h 50typical journey 145 kmfrom the airport

Begur sits inland on a hill under a ruined castle, with its beaches scattered below in separate coves — Sa Riera, Sa Tuna, Aiguablava, Fornells. Each is reached by its own steep, narrow road down from the town, and they do not connect to one another along the shore. Knowing which cove you are staying at matters more here than in most places.

This is villa country. A great many of the houses rented around Begur sit on unmarked lanes in the pine woods with no usable postal address, and taxi drivers who do not know the area lose a lot of time. Send the Google Maps pin from your rental confirmation when you book and the driver will go straight to the gate.

The journey is about an hour and fifty minutes, up the AP-7 and across through Palafrugell. In August the final descent to Aiguablava and Sa Tuna can be slow — those roads are single track in places with passing bays, and there is no way to hurry them.

Questions about this route

Which beach am I actually staying at?

Begur’s coves each have their own access road and they do not connect along the coast. Check your booking for Sa Riera, Sa Tuna, Aiguablava or Fornells and tell us which — it changes the final part of the route.

My villa has no street address. Can you still find it?

Yes. Open the location in Google Maps, share the pin on WhatsApp, and the driver navigates straight to it.

How long is the drive from the airport?

Around one hour fifty minutes for 145 km, longer in August on the final descent to the coves.

Can you arrange several cars for a wedding?

Yes. Send the guest numbers and timings and we will quote the whole movement, including late returns after the reception.

Is there public transport to Begur?

A limited bus service reaches the town from Palafrugell, but nothing useful serves the individual coves, especially in the evening.
