Make a search in the board because it was talked about. If you don't find with tomate, try with tomatina.

Try a search for "Buñol" on the internet. You'll most likely end up HERE .

The throwing begins the last Wednesday in August at 10:00 a.m. Don't dress like a foreigner, or you'll be taking more than your fair share of "hits". Get to the Plaza del Pueblo early...and expect at least 30,000 other tomato-throwers to join you.

As for lodging, you're on your own.

If you do a google search on the "Tomatina of Buñol" you will come up with a lot of websites. The earlier you book your hotel/hostal, the better as the place fills up fast and it´s a very small town.
