Throughout the 19th century, more than 500 people from Begur crossed the Atlantic in search of fortune on the American continent. This footprint means that Begur has an Indian legacy with a high historical and architectural value.

The Interpretive Center of the Indians of Catalonia in Begur assumes the function that requires equipment of these characteristics "it is a municipal, non-profit, permanent facility, at the service of society, open to the public and its purposes are the "education, conservation and study of the heritage inherited from past generations".

It is an immersive space in the Indian heritage to awaken the five senses. Visitors embark on a journey into the Indian universe of Catalonia, a symbol of the memory of this characteristic historical period, and becoming a point of reference and a must-see within the architectural and cultural tour that make up the set of buildings Indian women throughout the Catalan territory. The visit is complemented by the heritage route to the Indian houses of Begur through an audio guide system.

The enormous heritage wealth preserved together with the interpretation center make Begur considered an Indian capital par excellence.

Entry to the CIIC-Begur and the visit to the Heritage Route with audio guide are free.
