La Tomatina in Spain is a crazy event which takes place on the 31st August 2011 near Valencia in the Costa Blanca.
The Tomatina is an annual festival which occurs each year on the last Wednesday of August and if you are planning to visit Bunol near Valencia then either be prepared (with safety goggles and gloves) or avoid it!
This is a tomato fest like no other with over a hundred tons of tomatoes distributed from huge trucks to supply ammunition for revelers to pelt each other, it is the worlds biggest food fight. Apparently throwing huge amounts of over ripe tomatoes is how they honor the local saints in Bunol.
So if you find tomato throwing huge fun then you can do it on a grand scale in Spain at the end of August.
Or if you would prefer just to relax by the pool of your luxurious holiday villa sipping on a glass of local wine you could do that. It’s not too late to book a holiday in a villa in Spain for this summer.
