Getting There

• Car

  From any location in Costa Brava, make your way to the AP-7 motorway. If you are near towns like Lloret de Mar or Tossa de Mar, follow the signs to the AP-7. Take the AP-7 northbound towards Figueres. After approximately 40 km, take exit 3 towards Castelló d'Empúries. Continue on the GI-623 road until you reach Castelló d'Empúries. Once in Castelló, follow the signs to Plaça Mossèn Cinto Verdaguer, where Basílica de Santa Maria is located. Keep in mind that parking may be available nearby, but check for any local parking fees.

• Public Transportation

  If you are using public transportation, first head to the nearest bus station that services long-distance routes, such as the Lloret de Mar or Tossa de Mar bus station. Look for a bus that goes to Figueres. Once you arrive in Figueres, transfer to a local bus or taxi service that will take you to Castelló d'Empúries. Local buses can be checked via the Sarfa website for schedules. Upon arriving in Castelló, walk to Plaça Mossèn Cinto Verdaguer. Be aware of the total travel time, which may take around 2-3 hours depending on connections.

• Taxi or Ride-Sharing

  If you prefer a direct route without public transportation hassles, consider taking a taxi or a ride-sharing service like Uber or Cabify. Request a ride to Plaça Mossèn Cinto Verdaguer, 1, 17486 Castelló d'Empúries. The taxi fare will vary based on your starting point but expect to pay around 40-70 Euros depending on the distance. This option offers convenience, especially if you are traveling in a group.
