Benicàssim has established itself as a national hub for piloted railway modeling enthusiasts, hosting the XXII Piloted Scale Model Railway Meeting at its iconic Parc del Trenet, with the participation of associations from various autonomous communities.

The day began at 11:00 AM with the inaugural ceremony, where the mayor, Susana Marqués, and the Children's Queen, Ariadna Galán Zorrilla, performed the traditional ribbon-cutting. The event was also attended by local festival representatives and members of the municipal corporation, highlighting the significance of the occasion for the town.
