Buñol: La Tomatina
Date: 30th August 2017
The sight of flying red fruit is just the start
in one of Spain’s most unusual festivals,
La Tomatina, the time when thousands of
people travel from all over the world to
throw over-ripe tomatoes at one another.
It’s known as the world’s biggest food fight.
It’s held on the last Wednesday of August
in the town of Brunol, close to the city of
Valencia.
Each year more and more people join in
this unusual tradition, between 40,000 and
50,000 each year, which far surpasses the
9,000 people who live in Brunol. The day
normally starts at around 11am, with trucks
hauling tomatoes to the centre of town,
Plaza del Pueblo. You can start throwing the
ripened fruit once the water canon is fired
into the air and the chaos will begin.

Gracia.
Every year the residents of Barcelona
arrange a street party for their area, but
the biggest, by far is Garcia. It was once a
separate village from the city of Barcelona
and was incorporated into Barcelona in
1897, which is why Gracia is home to
charming narrow streets and a welcom-
ing hometown warmth.
