Buñol
Buñol is a small Valencian town wrapped around a 13th-century Moorish-origin castle and the Río Buñol gorge, best known worldwide as the home of La Tomatina, the raucous late-August tomato-throwing festival that briefly turns its streets crimson. Outside festival week, it's a quiet inland market town of narrow lanes and orchards in the Sierra de Buñol foothills, an easy contrast to coastal Valencia.

Frequently asked questions about Buñol
How do I get to Buñol?
The nearest airport is Valencia (VLC), roughly 35km away, from where Cercanías Valencia's C3 line runs regional trains directly to Buñol's own station in around ~1 hour; buses from Valencia's bus station also serve the town. There's no direct rail or air link bypassing Valencia, so the regional hub is effectively the only gateway in.
How many days should I spend in Buñol?
A half-day to full day covers the castle, old town, and gorge walks, while a longer stay only makes sense if timed around La Tomatina itself, which needs a full day (and an early arrival) to experience.
