Author Notes
La Tomatina (Spanish pronunciation: [la tomatina]) is a festival that is held in the Valencian town of Bunol, in the East of Spain 30 kilometres (19 mi) from the Mediterranean, in which participants throw tomatoes and get involved in a tomato fight purely for entertainment purposes. Since 1945 it has been held on the last Wednesday of August, during a week of festivities in Bunol. In 2002, La Tomatina of Bunol was declared Festivity of International Tourist Interest by the Secretary Department of Tourism due to its success.
