What is La Tomatina?
Every last Wednesday of August, the small town of Buñol, just 40 minutes from Valencia, becomes the setting for the world’s most famous tomato fight.
Thousands of people from around the world come together to throw over 100 tons of ripe tomatoes in an hour of chaos, fun, and pure red madness.

It only happens once a year, and if you’re in Valencia in August, you don’t want to miss it!

PRO TIPS
– Wear old clothes (or swimsuit) because it will stain a lot.
– Wear closed shoes (no flip flops or barefoot), better old ones because you will most likely have to throw them away.
– Wear a pair of diving goggles to prevent tomato from entering the eyes (they are acidic and itchy in the eyes).
– Put mobile, camera, money etc. inside some plastic bags (more than one …).
– NO BACKPACKS WILL BE ALLOWED: take nothing more than the essential, and nothing of value or that can get wet.
