The world's biggest tomato fight takes place at the end of August every year in Bunol, Valencia. At least two hundred tons of tomatos are thrown, drowning the plazas in a slurry of thick, red tomato juice, deep enough to wallow in... if that is your kind of fun. See some pics and a slideshow of 5 pics (not my pictures, they are all borrowed, thank you!)

I am a real fan of festivals but I am certain I wouldn't like to be in this one ::shakes head:: so I think I am not missing anything, not at all! the whole thing seems way too messy to me! Here's an excerpt from the net for your information: Quote The sunny Mediterranean city of Valencia in Spain is world-renowned for its tasty and succulent oranges. And just thirty miles away is Buñol, another town just as famous for its produce. But its notoriety comes from the locals' habit of wearing the produce as well as tasting it: every year, Buñol hosts La Tomatina, the world's largest vegetable fight. Situated only 30 kilometers inland from the Mediterranean Sea, and well-connected by motorway and rail to Madrid and Valencia, this charming town erupts into a fiery blaze of tomato-hurling on the last Wednesday of every August. Unquote. But you can read the complete article here. Because I know this is just what you wanted to read today... And remember: hold the ketchup!
