The house of Sebastián Puig Carreras was built in 1872. Mr. Carreras had never left his motherland for foreign riches, but his home still has notable exotic and Indian motives.

A Neoclassical-style house for the indiano Josep Pi Carreras was built in Begur in 1860.

Mr. Carreras opened a bakery and a grocery store called La Industrial in Havana together with his brother Pedro. When he got rich, he returned to Catalonia from Cuba.

The back side of the house still has its original gallery with garden views.

Casa Mallol, also known as Casa Cambo, appeared on the seafront of Roses in 1906 having been built by the architect Joan Marès i Marès. After the Spanish Civil War, the building fell into decay and was only spared demolition after the municipality became its owner in 1980. Casa Mallor is a rare Art Nouveau site in Roses that has survived to this day.

This indiano house was purchased by Pere Roger i Puig from another indiano Josep Carreras Frigola in 1859, when Pere Roger returned from Cuba, a rich tobacco manufacturer.

The house interiors have preserved the colonial style paintings and frescoes, while the courtyard verandah has nautical decorative elements.

The house Casa Térmens was built in 1869, commissioned by an indiano Santiago Mauri Carreras, who returned to Begur after emigrating to Cuba, having made his fortune exporting fabrics for the Spanish army.

The notable exterior elements of Casa Térmens are the moldings on the ground floor, ruffled pilasters on the second and forged iron banisters on the balconies.
