Due to the time of my flight I wont be able to get a coach so maybe the only option.... Yeah, about €90-100. Have you checked the train times? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 30 min walk, or take the shuttle bus which runs all week going from festival > town > beach. It’s a doddle, and costs €15 for unlimited use all week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last train from Barcelona to benicassim is 7:30pm Sound mate, that could work out a lot cheaper. We're like you as in we've got to the get the coach from the airport because our mate is flying from down south somewhere so gets in later than us so we have to wait around for her. Useful for the way back though! Just over a month to go lads, looking forward to a cracking week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was travelling in Spain for a few weeks last summer ending with doing the full week at Beni, was down to my last €50 per day by the time festival started, and still drank a fuck load. Was spending €15-€20 per day on food consisting of a mid-afternoon burger king, an ice cream in the early evening and then some drunk food from one of the street food places in the festival. Big shout out to the Argentina steak sandwich van and Big Dan's fried chicken, highly recommend both if they're there this year. Sadly I won't be. Bottle of cheap vodka and mixers - less than a fiver. This leaves enough for like 8/9 of the small beers over the course of the night. But of course this isn't recommended and you can certainly choose more nutritious options/avoid the lidl vodka. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonesy1 Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 Think all the supermarkets in Marina D'or ran out of the cheap vodka by the Wednesday and never bothered their arse restocking. Can't wait for this now, lineup might not be the greatest but it's one of the best weeks of the year regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irelandfan Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 Don't mind paying a bit extra for decent drink spent long enough in college drinking the paint stripper vodka. Beers normally cheap enough so will just need ice to keep it cold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cheap voddie at Lidl is Rachmaninoff, which I think they also sell over here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitz_xoxo Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 Just got the return flight booked last night! There was meant to be 13 of us staying in Marina d'Or apartments but now 2 people have pulled out. Anyone know what the 'sofa beds' are like there? Would they fit 2 people on it? We have 11 people going now and I just need to know where we would need the 3* 6 person apartments or 2 would suffice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
