I am flying to madrid and want to get a coach from madrid – benicassim….i’ve been searching frantically, but have had no joy whatsoever. I know there were advertised coaches for last year, but this year there doesn’t seem to be any. Do anyone please have an idea or link for coaches from Madrid – Benicassim and vice versa?????
Maybe Try getting a coach from Madrid to Valencia, there are then official FIB coaches usually run from there, or you can get a train. You could also try booking a train from Madrid. Train tickets will only be on sale around 3 months before the festival though
Does anyone know if there are direct busses from madrid to benicassim? Ive been looking everywhere but no luck what so ever 🙁
You mentioned that there is a direct shuttle from valencia to Benni that is about 5 euros. Is there a similar thing from Barcelona to Benni
