Tomatina Festival

Held on the last Wednesday of August, the tomatina festival was inspired by a food fight between local children who pelted each other with tomatoes in 1945.

At the annual Tomatina fiesta on Wednesday 160 tonnes of ripe tomatoes were offloaded from trucks into a crowd of over 22,000 half-naked revellers who packed the streets of Bunol for an hour-long battle.
