How to get to Rototom

To get to the festival site, from Topfestivales we suggest you the following options:

Plane. The nearest airport is Castellón Airport, although it is still about 45 kilometers away, so the best option would be to take a bus, a rental car or a taxi to the center of Castellón.
Train. The best option is to take a train from your city to Castellón train station. Once there you will have to go to the Intermodal Station and take the T1 towards Grau, where you will have to get off. There you will only be a few minutes walk from the venue.
By bus. You can get to Benicassim by bus from anywhere on the peninsula with companies like Avanza or Hife, where you will find the best route. Once there, the best thing to do is to take a regional train towards Valencia, which stops in Castellón and get off there. And then take the T1 as in the previous option, which will leave you a few minutes walk from the festival.
By car. It's always the most comfortable and flexible option and besides, with google maps you won't get lost! You can also consider other options such as carpooling on blablacar or renting a car if you don't have your own.
