A fellow motherweller at beni    when you flying out/to and where from?

[guitarbaz]

it's a bit away from the action, you'll have to rely on whatever buses they provide as you can't walk it. it's just a purpose built little seaside town. you'd have been better off in beni but the accom there is a rip off price so i don;t blame you for looking elsewhere.

ha small world eh? we are flying out on the wednesday from newcastle to barca, cheapeast we could find, hired a car for when we get there, what about yourself? how many of u's are going?

[Scone]

Yip, heard its like a ten minute drive but when we booked the apartments free shuttle bus passes were included so hopefully they're reliable enough.    Couldnt get anything in benni apartment wise.

[Adam in Barnet]

I'm there too with the missus. We have free shuttle buses included with our hotel. I hope they run

[guitarbaz]

i hope they prove reliable. i've just been put off beni the last couple of years due to the, quite frankly, criminal behaviour of those who rent out apartments there. hopefully this place will prove a real alternative and give these criminals some competition. have fun at the festie

[hurrell]

yeah iv been told there is a bus service every so often which runs to the festival from oropesa

na, i'm fed up with it now. you spend an absolute fortune and for about the same money you can have a week in spain along with a festival   granted, the spending money is a bit more, but it's worth it for the sunshine! i'm the organiser for titp too, they'll all be gutted im not going, no one will know how to put their tents up!!

[Gabs]

Yup, there are 7 of us going out there on 15th (birmingham - reus) and staying here.  The shuttle bus service sounds pretty good, so hopefully it'll prove reliable.
The resort looks pretty decent for the days either side of the festival.  Can't wait.

Yip...been reading up a bit more on it & it sounds like a good spot alrite!    We have 2 nights in barca before stayin there for 5 nights & finishin off way another 2 nights in barca....gonna be pure madness i reckon!!
