Archeological evidence indicates civilization in Buñol going back 50,000 years. Buñol's population is about 9,000 people [1] (http://www.ine.es/htdocs/pob98in/i98muni46.htm) but swells to over 30,000 for La Tomatina (held annually on the last Wednesday in August).
Buñol has regional rail passenger service to Valencia via the Renfe system.
