Benicassim - Need help on travelling

[SparkiJ]

Okay this is my first time going Benicassim and I live in London. Going with a few mates but as we're students we're a tad hopeless with organising. Basically just wondering what the cheapest way to get there is as looking to get a coach/shuttle there directly from the airport looks to be pretty pricey. I think I've heard something about trains but I was wondering where the nearest train station to the campsite would be and a rough price.

Currently we have no idea where we're flying to or where to get a train from, as I've said completely lost..

Any help/suggestions at all would be greatly appreciated

or you can fly BA from Heathrow or London City to Barcelona. They are as cheap as the so called budget airlines

aha sorry my bad. I intend to fly from London Gatwick to Barcelona or Madrid and catch either a shuttle or train.

Its interesting you said shuttle was only 26 euros, I posted this thread because I saw they were around £75 sterling for going there and the return so I became lost on how I was meant to get to Benicassim itself.

Also I have no idea what trains are like and how far they are from airport/campsite.

I do appreciate the help guys, its good to say I've tried to do this myself and failed on all aspects so cheers

hi!!!

I'm thinking of getting flights to madrid, the flights are the cheapest i could find at the moment, they work out at under £50 return. I understand that madrid is probably one of the further airports from benicassim, with the more popular ones being valencia and barcelona, but has anyone had experience going from madrid to benicassim? like whether you would recommend train or coach, how much it costs, how long it takes etc

cheers!

You can find out all you need to know about trains from here:

I think it takes quite a while from Madrid
