Hey, Have a Tomato!
The origins of this mass tomato battle date back to a fight amongst children in 1945 and it has been celebrated every year since then.

Come to Buñol and on the last Wednesday of August enjoy a pacific, festive, fun and original pitched battle: the Tomatina. Just as every year, for the last seventy years and more, at eleven o’ clock in the morning the great battle begins in the square, where thousands of young people will iron out differences with clean tomato throwing, ripe tomatoes thrown as ammunition in a battle of laughs. Who said that tomatoes are just for salads?
La Tomatina - The World's Biggest Food Fight
On the last Wednesday of August, Bunol' Valencia
The Tomatina began in 1945. During the huge battle, which starts and ends with a gun shot, the participants hurl tomatoes at each other. In the end, the traditional hosing down of the plaza and the participants takes place. This odd event has attracted the attention of media professionals from all over the world, who come to Buñol to experience for themselves and report on to people in their respective countries. In August 2002, this event was declared a Festivity of International Tourist Interest. La Tomatina est née en 1945. C'est une grande bataille qui commence et se termine par le lancement d'une fusée qui explose tout en bruit. Les participants se lancent mutuellement et sans relâche des tomates bien mûres et tout ceci se termine, bien sûr, par le traditionnel processus de nettoyage au boyau d'arrosage, qui nettoiera la place principale et les participants.

The weeklong festival features music, parades, dancing, and fireworks. On the night before the tomato fight, participants of the festival compete in a paella cook-off.

Approximately 30,000 people come to the tomato fight, and 240,000 pounds of tomatoes are used. There are not many accommodations for people who come to La Tomatina, and thus most people stay in Valencia and take the 38 km bus or train over to Buñol. In preparation for the dirty mess that will ensue, shopkeepers cover their storefronts in order to protect them from the carnage. At around 11:00 am, the first event of the Tomatina begins. A ham is placed upon a large greased pole, and the tomato fight can begin only when someone is able to climb to the top and bring it down. People struggle against each other, climbing atop one another, in order to be the one to pull down the ham. With this victory the tomato throwing begins.

Many trucks haul the bounty of tomatoes into the center of the town, Plaza del Pueblo. The tomatoes come from Extremadura, Spain, where they are less expensive. The signal for the beginning of the fight is firing of the cannon, and the chaos begins. Once it begins, the battle is generally every man for himself, but it is not uncommon for it to develop into girls vs. guys. Those who partake in this event are strongly encouraged to wear protective goggles and gloves. In addition, they must squish the tomatoes before throwing for safety precautions. Another rule is that no one is allowed to bring into this fight anything that may provoke someone into a more serious brawl, for instance a bottle. While the natives enjoy tearing the ragged clothing off other people, it is highly frowned upon to tear someone else's clothing. Somewhere between an hour and two hours, the fighting ends and the cannon is fired once more to signal the end. At this point no more tomatoes can be thrown. The cleaning process involves the use of fire trucks to spray down the streets, with water provided from a Roman aqueduct. People find water to wash themselves, most likely at the Buñol River.

The celebration concludes with the festival of the town's patron saints, San Luis Bertràn, and the Virgin Mary.
Buñol is just 39 kilometres from the city of Valencia, in a mountainous area close to the coast. In the surrounding region you will have the chance to enjoy beautiful nature areas such as Alta Cave, the Juanes River and Turche Cave, where there is a 60 metre waterfall at rainy times of year. The town also has many parks and gardens. Other points of interest are its 13th century castle, the old town around it and El Salvador Church, which also houses the town’s Archaeological Museum. Nevertheless, it is in August when thousands of people head for Buñol to take part in its famous “Tomatina”. This amusing fiesta involves everyone hurling tomatoes at each other and has the International Tourist Interest designation.
