From September 5nd to 7nd, the en-
tire town rejoices and plunges into
Caribbean flair. It is the time of a festival
called Fira d’Indians. From the 16th to the
19th century, Cuba was a Spanish colony,
and there were quite a few Catalans, who
went to find their luck at the other side of
the ocean. They returned, having gained a
fortune, and built the splendid houses. In
Begur, this bond to the Caribbean island
is celebrated with a festival on the streets.
The market, offering vegetables and other
colonial goods, invites the guests to stay
and buy some of them. Cuban music and
dances, colourful costumes and tasty Caip-
irinhas put everyone in good spirits, until the
morning comes.
