Well, sometimes you say things you do without thinking about them, impulsively, when Ramon crazy friend, sent me the poster of the famous Arenal Sound did not hesitate to say an absolute YES. The reasons? For the truth, not having visited the website of the festival before taking the decision, maybe the picture showed they would have pulled back. Secondly, the poster, the opportunity to see for a price so low that many groups sounded good, and others wanted to hear live, or new that I wanted to know was that after giving a short overview on incomplete programming that said yes. And finally, the desire to live a different summer and a new experience, let my rational side and fotra'm a good mess.
Arenal Sound has only five years of history, so it is a young festival compared to others already established in Spain in a few years but has been improving and building their name and space. It is located in the small town of Burriana, south of Castellón. The city is divided into three centers, one in the interior "Alquerías Niño Perdido", another near the coast, the Burriana itself and finally a rest on a long coastal promenade, port and shipyards. The Arenal advantage these last two areas lie on a beach area where convenience, space and breadth to receive a festival mass occur together.
The website of the Arenal proposes its two campsites with accommodation for all types of shops and services: showers, lockers, charging mobile food stalls, 24h security ... And beautiful photos of a group of men planting a green tent under some trees.
On reaching there, the reality is somewhat different. The campsite Arenal, which you paint on the website as more luxurious, has only one advantage is literally 1min to the entrance of the concert venue. The rest is a mess, with all borders nightclubs promenade concert area is so close you could hear them from the tent and the same potato field full of sand and the other short grass camping. In short, games stores there is no charge or God. Fortunately, and thanks to him, entries such as noisy camp once we had finished we went across the festival poster and a ray of luck we did buy the campsite Malvarrosa games stores (name which I find curious.)
Summarizing. Imagine a huge field of culture have been conditioned by a campsite thousands of stores under awnings (if you can find room), trails of dust, not a fucking tree. Showers? Cold. Slogans and loading mobile? Payment. Note that the key to the festival is to make you pay for everything, to try to make you pay for food storage, paid for queuing to pay, pay and pay for drinking water even for a shit decent toilet.
What if you do not believe in the system? You become a hunter of offers. The food is cheaper outside the camp, residents offer charging phones and ... toilets. or by a person falls used to do it in a hole in the ground, a chemical toilet is paradise.
In fact Arenal is in a boom economy of the small town of Burriana. When low station games stores (we traveled there for less, making multiple combinations of regional trains from Barcelona, games stores local trains and a bus from Castellon) expect the typical image of a goat by a ball of straw and beeee rolling as the films of the west. But as the low center of town really see that everyone, everyone fighting to enter either money for the festival. It therefore becomes the perfect setting for the competition and the free market, where lining that more price-busting (That would be the proud Smith) and the Sounders benefited a lot of restaurants that make menus 6 , hawkers killing themselves to offer their services more cheaply ....
I am sure that the people must meet and realize that it goes well for a troop Sounders outdated not let sleep for five days. After all ends when the town returns to the desert with her goat and its ball of straw.
As every day the Arenal and the organization of the festival, so just be very aware of where you go. Sleep on a hot refugee camp and enjoy the many evening concerts in the beach area (about 20 min Camping acceptable that the Internet games stores say they are half-hour bus to pay). Villa musical is divided into three scenarios 19.00 9.00 offers a great combination of styles, concerts, rarely overlap in tastes so well appeal
