It is a music festival held every year in Benicassim, which is around 50 miles north of Valencia on the coast. It attracts around 35000 people, with bands as diverse as Franz Ferdinand, Madness, Placebo, Soulwax, and Rufus Wainwright. I recommend it as it is the best organised festival that I have been to. There is a diversity of music, good facilities, free camping and 3 miles of beach. There is a great atmosphere at the venue, with around 60% of people Spanish, 30% British, and 10% from other European countries. A 3-day pass costs £99 and flights from the UK are £100 approx to either Valencia or Barcelona. It is like a combinaton of Glastonbury and Ibiza, and there is generally a great vibe!
