How to get there and where to stay
To get to Benicassim we flew from manchester to Valencia. You can also fly in to Barcelona, Castellon and Reus. We went to the festival in the evening but stayed in a hotel in the town of Castellon (a nice bed and shower is bliss after being at a festival) you can camp at the festival all weekend if you wish to looks like its sold out this year.
We stayed at Hotel Del Golf Playa (link below) which was a 2 minute walk to the beach and beach restaurants. The hotel included a buffet breakfast and we would eat lunch by the beach then have food at the festival in the evening. You also get fridge facilities, wifi, clean room and a bar in the hotel. We had a designated driver (the lovely Chris) who picked us up from the airport and would drive us to the festival there and back. Festival parking is difficult especially the later you turn up so be aware you made need to park in the town of Benicassim and walk 15minutes to the festival.

What to wear?
Benicassim festival is amazing because it's in a country where you don't have to wear wellies and a rain coat for a change :) I love going to festivals and being more out there with outfits and accessories. I also love to see what other people wear it is so cool to see outfit inspo. I would advised like vfestival to wear outfits there are easy to manoeuvre in portaloos. The less time you have to spend in them the better. The festival is located around rocks so un even surface so I wouldn't wear any high heels just sandals. I wore shorts and tops most of the time and used my trusty bum bag. It was easier being able to stay in a hotel and have showers, wifi and electricity. I love taking accessories with me to festivals and sometimes wear pieces I would never normally wear. Go with it and have fun!
What is at the festival?
When you get in the festival there are lots of bars, food stands and boutique stands. You exchange money for vouchers so you can buy your drinks. You can also get cocktails which you pay cash for there a bit more expensive but i can never say no to a mojito! There is also different stages and like vfestival people who you have gone with may not necessarily want to see the same thing as you so as long as you have a plan of where to meet after you will be safe :)
This years line up 2017
So if your planning to go this year have an amazing time!!! stay safe and enjoy :)
