this is my first time to benni and was wondering if there was shuttle buses or anyway to get to the festival from Castellon de la Plana.

an if that wis an ok place to stay, as can't camp due to health problems.

any advise will be grateful!!!!!!

When we were there in 2006 there were shuttle buses to Castellon from outside the festival site - however, you still had to walk quite a long way from the festival site to where the buses stopped!

My mate did it last year every night after the festival.

We stayed past 6am every night, so not sure if the buses run all night or just start in the morning

are they regular then?

We stayed in Castellon in 2007. There's a bus every half an hour or so during the day time - the journey takes about 45-60 minutes, and drops you off at the bottom of Benicasim town (about 20-30 minutes walk from the festival). We only did the bus once and ended up getting taxis most of the time - 10-15EUR and a 15 minute journey that'll drop you a 10 minute walk from the entrance.

Despite notices to the contrary, we didn't manage to find any public buses to take us back at night, and nobody seemed to know anything about the shuttle bus. Taxis were generally pretty good - we didn't have to wait much longer than 10 minutes except for the last night, when the queue was 200 deep and we ended up waiting until 6.30am for the buses to start up.

I understand there's a few places doing shuttle buses now (###### and the like), which might be a safer bet if you don't want to bank on buses/cabs.

Some of our mates stayed in Castellon last year and spent a small fortune on taxis,they have just booked a hotel in Benicassim with the shuttlebus with ######, it might be worth checking with them to see if their bus goes to Castellon too.
