The Benicassim 2010 Music Festival is already around the corner and you are probably planning on various forms of transportation to get to the venue in Spain from the United Kingdom.
The fastest but not an expensive way to get to Barcelona is by plane for around 60 pounds, depending on the date you order it. Tickets can be purchased through various online travel agents. Agents that offer discount tickets from the UK to either Valencia or Barcelona include Expedia.com, Kayak.com, and Travelocity.com. Sometimes, a budget plane ticket to Spain can be cheaper than a train ride to attend a UK music festival. Airlines such as Ryan Air, Easy Jet, and British Airways.
After arriving at the Valencia or Barcelona airport, you may rent a car for easy transportation to the festival venue. Another option to get there is by train. The train ride will only take an hour and will deliver you straight to the venue site. If you don’t like these two options, you still have another alternative: the festival bus. The organizer of Beniccasim arranges buses to pick up participants at the Valencia airport every year.
If you would like to turn this travel opportunity into a road trip, you may consider taking the train from the UK to Spain. You can reserve your train ticket online at Rail Europe. A round-trip ticket will cost about 60 pounds again, comparable to the price of a plane ticket. A tip is to purchase the InterRail Global Pass, which will allow you to travel anywhere in Europe within 22 days or a month at a much reduced price. You may also consider purchasing the country pass for Spain or if you are qualified, get a youth pass to help defray your cost.
Finally, you can drive from the UK to the festival destination. Depending on your driving speed and the road condition, it can take more than a day. Plan on spending extra as you may need to spend a night in a motel before continuing your drive to Benicassim. The benefit of this option is that you can admire the landscape and cities you pass by before you enjoy some fresh music.
When you get to Benicassim, you could book into a hotel instead of camping, somewhere like Late Rooms offer some great late deals on Hotels.
