LA TOMATINA Buñol (Valencia) what to do

People who go to the Tomatina, mainly choice between two options:

-The first option is to go the previous Tuesday, to know Buñol and its surroundings, and then spend the night partying in the open air pubs (in the St. Louis Park) or go to the disco-mobile with DJs (in the opposite zone, in the park Planell) in Buñol that night is known as "the Empalmá" because the town is full of people eager to party and the music is not over till the next morning.

At 9 am (approximately) is distributed wine and scones in the Town Hall Square
10 starts on the Bat-Soap (a kind of greasy pole, topped with a ham) the team who get it, win it. Meanwhile neighbors and firefighters Spraying water cooling the atmosphere.
More or less at 11 is given the starting signal of the Tomatina until have finished passing all the trucks.

If someone wants to book a place to sleep, do it early. In the Web of the Tomatina, there are suggestions, I can also advise you whether if you contact to me.

-The second option (which is more stressful), is to go on Wednesday (keep in mind that you must walk about 2 miles at least to reach the area of La Tomatina and the trains will be full. So come with time).

If someone wants to come on Tuesday 28 August, I have planned a route of about 10 km.

The route starts at the train station of Buñol, about 12 hours, followed by a visit to the castle, the route is medium-low difficulty,  we'll walk to the Cueva del Turche (lake formed by a plummeting natural where we can take a swim) by mountain roads to reach the hostel of Actio in Alborache, where we will do an adventure activity Climbing in  climbing wall, hanging bridge Tirolina (flying fox?) and Archery (the activities depend on the number of participants). And whoever who want can also swim in the pool. At the end, we will walk to Alborache (which is at 1 kilometer or so) where we'll catch the bus to Buñol. Where the route ends.

To join you have to confirm until 1 week before to my mail differentguides@gmail.com or my phone (0034) 622 456 890 (0034) 622 456 890  My name is David. Because it is necessary to confirm the hostel.During the tour I will explain history, curiosities and landmarks (including information on the party area and places to eat).

The finish time depends on the number of participants (more participants more adventurous activities, and therefore end up later.

According to many participants we are, the price will vary between 15 and 20 euros, including the route, adventure activity, the pool, the bus back (and once in Buñol backpack you can leave your in my home until the next dayif you want) .
How you arrive depends on each one, the food must be brought from home, but if someone wants, you can talk to the hostel and there you pay, will be paid before starting the route, and not wait for someone who is late from the departure time.

The route will be in English and Spanish, participants will be between 10 and 20 to make the adventure activity.

No one who is drunk or with clear effects of having used drugs, can participate. And it requires respect with the other participants (who did not have it, will leave the route).

Recommendations for the route:
Wear sneakers or hiking boots (no flip flops), swimsuit (and a towel if you want), sun hat (and sunglasses), sunscreen (because even look for shade, there are not too many in Buñol), sandwich or similar (You can also wear it for dinner, although there are quite cheap prices), comfortable clothing, backpack (it is more comfortable and easier to leave in my home at night, or to take it away), water (we will find sources, but there are not potable water is from the mountain).

Recommendations for the Tomatina:
Comfortable old clothes that you don't mind throwing (because that's what will happens certain), old sneakers (if you don't do this sure that will end up in the rubbish) or sandals that are attached to the ankle (because otherwise you will lose it in 5 minutes), goggles are useful (because the acid of the tomato in the eyes is very disturbing), only cameras that can withstand water (you can buy a disposable).
For girls it is safer to use  swimsuit than the bikini (although this is forbidden there are some subnormal people trying to remove it), an airtight bag to keep valuables without getting wet.
