La Tomatina en Buñol (Valencia), España!!

Hello people!!! This week we’re going to travel to the beautiful country of Spain, more specific, just thirty miles away from Valencia is Buñol, another town just as famous for its produce. But its notoriety comes from the locals’ habit of wearing the produce as well as tasting it: every year, Buñol hosts La Tomatina, the world’s largest vegetable fight. This festival takes place on the last Wednesday of every August, since 1945. The masses congregated below then launch into a one hour frenzy of tomato throwing it’s everyone for themselves.
Then at around about noon, a number of trucks carrying the edible red grenades rumble their way into the main Town Square to the unimaginative chant of “tomatoes, tomatoes, tomatoes” from the now drunken crowd. Some theories are that it started as a food fight among friends, perhaps due to an accidental lorry spillage; a class war; or that habitants attacked the councilmen during a town celebration. Nevertheless, what is sure is that many people joined in the fun and enjoyed it so much that it has been continued every year.
