Serviced Apartments in Benicassim

Just one hour's drive north of Valencia on the east coast of Spain, Benicàssim is a town of about 20,000 people, best known for hosting its annual International Music Festival. Although this festival is certainly the town’s most notable attraction, Benicàssim is an attractive town in its own right and is great for holidays all year round. Holiday rentals in Benicàssim are obviously much in demand during the festival, but are easier to get hold of for the rest of the year.

Benicàssim is found on the Costa del Azahar or Orange Blossom Coast, a small stretch of coastline which is known for having a selection of attractive and historical towns and cities along its length. Furthermore, the Province of Castellón in which the town is found is an area of bilingualism, with many locals speaking both Spanish and Valencian. However, if you do have a smattering of Spanish, you will find the town no harder to communicate in than any other in Spain, during excursions from your Benicàssim holiday apartment.

The Festival Internacional de Benicàssim is an annual celebration of pop, rock and electronica music as well as fashion, film and art, and is held over four days every July. Benicàssim holiday lettings obviously become very hard to come by during this period and so if you do wish to attend the festival make sure you book well in advance. The festival attracts many of the best-known acts from around the world such as Arctic Monkeys, The Strokes, Pendulum and Arcade Fire to name but a few.

The festival has occasionally come under criticism from local communities as it does not support the local Valencian culture. If you would like to experience this culture, one of the most spectacular sights you'll see is the Muixeranga; a historical form of entertainment based on street dancing and the building of human castles. The human castles are particularly entertaining and to be sure of witnessing this, book your Benicàssim self-catered apartment or serviced apartment for September, and visit the town festival of Algemesí, which is about 30 km the other side of Valencia.

As you can see, Benicàssim is a historic and culturally aware town in Spain which is much more than just a four-day festival. Another of the delights of this town is the Desert de les Palmes mountain range which rises up behind Benicàssim. If you take a trip to the range from your Benicàssim serviced accommodation you will experience fantastic views of both the town and the Balearic Sea.
