Getting there and planning your trip

Penélope Benidorm is located on Avenida Comunidad Valenciana, in a city with a large hotel capacity and frequent connections with Alicante. For visitors from elsewhere, the most convenient option is usually to stay in Benidorm and get to the venue by taxi, local public transport or a short walk, depending on the area chosen.

Recommendations for festival-goers

• Book accommodation well in advance, especially if you want to be close to the venue.
• Check the official set times once the organisers publish the stage schedule.
• Plan breaks, because the two-day, three-stage format can be intense.
• Buy tickets through official channels and avoid unverified resale.
