  Fonda Caner Restaurant, Begur, Costa Brava

Fonda Caner serves robust Catalan fare such as pigs’ trotters stuffed with snails and fabulous home-cured anchovies.

Unlike the seaside towns where most tourists flock when visiting the Costa Brava, Begur lies a little ways inland. Small, romantic, and absolutely charming, it is a gem of a town growing around a hill, upon which lies the ruins of their old castell.

The place is intimate and cozy, nothing too fancy, with great service. After their requisite free glass of cava (sparkling wine) we recommend you to ask for the seaside menu or try pigs’ trotters stuffed with snails.

Getting there: Ryanair flies to Girona from London from £15.90 one way.

Where to stay: We recommend you to stay in Hotel Rosa, a little family-run affair down a pedestrian cobblestone lane, not two steps from the main square.
