After watching VillaRreal defeat Everton on the tv last night I can admit to having heard of this place. I´t's about 1 hour north by train from Valencia. Most trains (but not all) going to Castellon pass through Villarreal. If I remember correctly the return fare was something like 4 Euros.
I think there are 2 spellings of the place (Castellano and Valenciano)
Last fact I know about the town - they currently have a good football side (3rd in La Liga last night)
