La Tomatina: The World's Largest Tomato Fight
Ranked #748 in Travel & Places, #31,765 overall
The World's Largest Tomato Fight
Each year in Bunol, Spain (in the Valencia region) the world's largest tomato fight commences. La Tomatina is the ultimate food fight. It is a festival for which people travel thousands of miles and all for the pleasure of pelting, and being pelted, by tomatoes. What a blast!
Of all the celebrations this world holds, la Tomatina is on the top of the list of events I hope to someday attend.

Photos From La Tomatina
The festivities are supposed to commence when the first person climbs to the top of the two story high, highly greased up wooden pole. However, since this usually takes a while, people just don't wait, and the tomato fight starts early.

- I went to La Tomatina both in 2007 & 2008. It was great a long time dream come true, as I always wanted to go to Spain and especially to La Tomatina. I was not disappointed, my experience even exceeded, as I found myself immersed in the shirt ripping and throwing of both the shirts & the tomatoes. I took many photos of the 2008 event and have posted them on Flickr. I found this site through my stats page on Flickr as the photos above are from and link to my Flickr page.
