On 18 November, the day before she passed away, the Local Council declared her an adopted daughter of Begur, and decided to name the street between the Sant Ramon shrine and her house at Mas d'en Pinc "Passeig Carmen Amaya". Carmen Amaya died in the morning of 19 November in her bedroom at Mas d’en Pinc. As she had wished, she was buried in Begur, accompanied by the whole town, family, admirers, friends, dignitaries and celebrities from all around.
Some years later, however, her widower Juan Antonio Agüero, had her remains moved to Santander. The Local Council purchased Mas d’en Pinc in 1965. It is now open to the public, with a small exhibition in tribute to the dancer. The rest of the building is taken up by the Environment Office, which coordinates 7 premises serving as the headquarters of organisations focused on Environment, Land Use, and Culture.
