Benicassim Festival near Barcelona
The
Benicassim Music Festival near
Barcelona is becoming more and more
popular, year on year, particularly
with music lovers from countries such
as the UK and Ireland seeking more reliable
weather for their summer music gigs.
The Benicassim Festival
takes place between annually and normally
each July for tickets
for this year you can book via Benicassim
Festival Tickets. I recommend you
book as soon as possible because this
event is gettign more popular each year.
Getting to
the Benicassim Festival,
Benicassim is a few hours South of Barcelona
and quite close to Valencia. From major
cities such as Barcelona and Madrid
you can use RENFE
the Spanish trains network to get
to within walking distanc of the festival
site. Flying into Barcelona
and getting a train down to the festival
can be an easy enough option. You may
ant also to pre-book the train tickets
to be sure but you should be fine even
if you do not.
Another alternative is
to fly into Valencia
airport and then you will be within
60 minutes of the festival site. Many
of you might be coming from Alicante
and this is also close  enough
i.e. less than a 3 hours drive. In Valencia
there are buses whcih are always laid
on to get you to the festival site.

accommodation at the Benicassim Festival:
The festival atttacts in the region
of forty-five thousand people and music
fans from across Europe, particularly
from UK, Germany and Holland. There
are 3 camp sites and they are filled
up one at a time so it is pop luck which
one you get allocated. All of these
have facilities including showers, although
the showers can sometimes be cold.
The 3 camping areas are
called CamFib, Bonet and Mercat.
The closest camp site to the festival
site is CamFib, whilst Mercat is where
the local market usually takes place
