Fira d'indians in Begur celebrates the intense relationship between Cuba and the town of Begur, which has its origins in the emigration of many of its residents to the island throughout the 19th century. Upon returning to the Spain, those who had prospered in their businesses built ostentatious houses that still decorate the streets of Begur today. These americanos, as they were called, sought to recreate their luxurious, island lifestyle on the Mediterranean coast, leaving behind a diverse cultural legacy.
Every year on the first weekend of September, Begur turns back the clock to relive that historical period that has left a deep mark on the town and its identity. The streets and squares of Begur host a market of overseas products, trade shows and musical performances. Caribbean rhythms, with internationally renowned Cuban groups such as Barnahabana and La Máquina del Sabor, ensure fun and entertainment for everyone,
There is also no shortage of habaneras and street shows, complemented by a series of cultural activities including exhibitions, guided tours, interviews, conferences and round table discussions, which analyze and disseminate the legacy of the americanos.
