Getting Around Begur with a Dog
🇪🇸Begur, Spain·Updated 15 June 2026
Begur has no train station; the closest rail is the Flaçà RENFE regional 25 km west on the C-66 and the Figueres-Vilafant AVE high-speed station 40 km north. The Moventis (formerly Sarfa) bus runs the Palafrugell-Begur corridor multiple times a day in summer and four to six times a day in winter, with a clear small-pet-in-carrier policy, plus seasonal Palafrugell-Tamariu and L`Estartit shuttles. Once in the village, the casc antic and the Castell de Begur hilltop are fully pedestrianised; the six calas are connected by the GIV-6531 and GIV-6532 cala roads (steep switchbacks) and by the 8 km Camí de Ronda GR-92 clifftop path. The nearest airports are Girona-Costa Brava (GRO) 50 min south-west and Barcelona-El Prat (BCN) 1 h 45 south on the AP-7 motorway.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get to Begur with a dog if I don`t have a car?
Two options. From Barcelona: take the AVE high-speed train to Figueres-Vilafant (55 min), then taxi 40 km east to Begur (45 min, around €70) or change to the Moventis bus via Palafrugell. From Girona: take the regional Renfe to Flaçà (15 min), then taxi 25 km east to Begur (30 min, around €50). Small dogs in carriers travel free on rail and bus; larger dogs are accepted on Renfe under the 2025 trial at 25 percent of the fare, on the bus at the driver`s discretion.
Can I take a boat cala-hopping from Begur with a dog?
Begur itself has no commercial cala-hopping port; operators run summer trips from neighbouring Palafrugell ports (Llafranc, Calella de Palafrugell) up the Begur cala coast to Aiguablava and Sa Tuna. Pet policy varies by operator and season, call ahead to verify. The boarding pontoons are leashed-dog friendly, but a refusal at the gangplank in high season is possible without a booking confirmation.
