La Tomatina is Spain's famous tomato fight, held in Bunol near Valencia. Every year, thousands of visitors come for the world's biggest food fight.
When and where La Tomatina happens
The festival takes place on the last Wednesday of August in Bunol, near Valencia. Trucks bring huge quantities of over-ripe tomatoes into the town centre.
How the tomato fight starts
Traditionally, the event begins after someone tries to reach a ham at the top of a greased pole. In practice, water cannons signal the start and the tomato chaos begins.
What happens afterwards
After about one hour the fight ends and no more tomatoes can be thrown. Fire trucks wash the streets, and visitors often clean up at the river or with help from local residents.
Can I learn Spanish in Singapore without immersion?
