We immerse ourselves in the beauty and history of this town on the Costa Brava. Along the Mediterranean Sea, we discover how the textile tradition has evolved with a sustainable spirit thanks to projects that unite innovation with the know-how of artisans.
We will meet the Pujadas, father and son, who continue a family saga linked to this sector. Also to Rosa and Júlia, who show how the past and the present intertwine creating a unique legacy.
José María has experienced firsthand the transformation of an industry, textiles, which has been changed by offshoring and digitization. Heir to a business venture that began in the second half of the 19th century, he has maintained and passed on its spirit, and today he accompanies his son on a new adventure.
After growing up surrounded by textile entrepreneurs, José María is promoting a new project, Aiguavista, which is based on a culture of the sea, know-how, and enjoying the little things in life.
She has inherited from her father a passion for art that, through different life experiences, has become a way of life. Now, she enjoys from the roots of its land and sea with the richness of having soaked up other cultures.
The present and future of Begur is also marked by a key fact: in the 19th century, more than 500 Begurians crossed the Atlantic in search of fortune in the Americas. Those who succeeded and returned have made it possible for me to have a legacy of the Indianos, Spaniards who returned home after making their fortune in the Americas, that has both historical and architectural value that is now remembered in an annual celebration.
Begur shows us how tradition can inspire innovative projects and how the history of a people can be seen in its landscape and in its creations. The commitment to textile sustainability and the impressive Indiano heritage of the area are two sides of a living legacy that is in constant evolution.
We have traveled to the heart of Castile and León, Castile-La Mancha, Catalonia, Galicia, and Andalusia to discover stories of tradition and their protagonists.
