How To Get To Benicassim Festival

As some of you are usual festival vistors, you will find it no difficulty to make it across Europe to a huge music event.
However, to us newbie’s i think i can personally say it is pretty threatening but absolutely exciting. We have all been to the usual festivals back in our home land… but Europe, that’s a different story.
Now, to the main point, how to get there. I have investigated and researched and spoken to friends who went previous years. It seems the best way to get there is to fly to Valencia and get a train that goes straight to Benicassim which normally takes about an hour, ideal timing to get a few drinks down you i’d say. Other possible routes are flying to Reus (1hr 40mins away), Barcelona (2hrs 30mins away), Alicante (2hrs 50mins away) or Madrid (4hrs 40mins away).
If you are like my friends, they have decided to either create the event into some gigantic road trip across Europe or to go by train. We have found an InterRail Global Pass which allows us to travel where ever we want for either 22 days (€309) or 1 month (€399), these prices are based on the Youth Pass from the ages of 12- 26. There are other passes aswel, for a one country pass to Spain for 8 days it’s €149, also based on the Youth Pass of ages 12-26.
