Santa Coloma de Farners is a spa town and capital of the
comarca of the
Selva, in
Catalonia, Spain, and of the judicial district of Santa Coloma. It is situated on the edge of the
Selva Depression and of the
Guilleries. The local economy is mainly commercial, given the status of the town as capital of the comarca, although summer tourism, agriculture and forestry products also contribute. The urban centre is to the north and west of the main modern communication routes, although the C-253 road links the town with the main N-II route and the AP-7
autopista and to the
RENFE railway station at
Sils (10 km). The GE-533 runs through the northern part of the municipality, linking it with
Vic to the west and with
Riudellots de la Selva,
Vilobí d'Onyar and
Girona-Costa Brava Airport to the east.
