How to get to Selva in Costa Brava

From Barcelona to Selva the route is 90km long. The easiest way to get there is by car:

  • Get on B-10 from Via Laietana, Plaça de Pau Vila, Carrer del Dr. Aiguader and Exit 22

If you are seeking a more chill night out, something equally appropriate for children we recommend heading to Blanes. Here you will find a much more authentic Spanish evening vibe with traditional music unlike the top hits playing at the bars and clubs of Lloret de Mar. Blanes also has a festival from July 24-28th, during which the streets fill up with music, dancing and entertainment, and of course fireworks!
