Every last Wednesday of August people from all over the world gather in Valencia to participate in the Tomatina: the most famous and craziest tomato war in the world. You have to live this experience!
La Tomatina is one of the most popular and most visited Spanish festivals and it is known throughout the planet. Do you want to catch a blow of ripe tomato on the head? Do you want to bathe in a pool with tomato juice? Then this party is for you, do not miss it - every last Wednesday of August tons of tomatoes and tomato lovers from all over the world are prepared for the Great Battle.
The goal can be anyone, the main task of the participants is to shoot tomatoes at the next door neighbor. If you keep in mind that in this fun battle about forty thousand people participate, and the number of emunitions is counted in the hundreds of tons of tomatoes, it is easy to imagine what happens in the streets of the town of Buñol.
In this edition we have 12h followed by party and activities!!!!!
1) On Wednesday at 7:00 we take our buses and we will go to Buñol where La Tomatina is waiting for us - the biggest Tomato Battle in the world! This event starts at 12h00 and ends at 13h00: after and before we have pre & after party in Buñol. Then we will return to Valencia to rest a little, to take a shower and prepare for a closing event.
2) At night, after resting and showering, we will have: La Tomatina After Party with live DJs and people from alllllll the planet! Seriously, the stories that begin with the phrase how "once I, a Japanese, an Australian, an Argentinian, an American and a Spanish took shots of tequila in an after party" come out of these parties and the After Party party of the Tomatina is already a mythical party and known throughout the world.
And rightly so, it is organized only once a year! There is no excuse for losing it.
The signal for the beginning of the battle is a firecracker that is launched on Wednesday at 12 pm from the City Hall. With this signal in the streets, several trucks loaded with the protagonists of the party - ripe tomatoes, which are the ammunition of this war. The participants of the festival run under a rain of tomatoes to the trucks, fly the ammunition and the show begins.
Participants from all over the world, including Australians and Japanese (crazy, crazy, crazy ...), gathered in a mythical battlefield in which there are NO ALLIES! ALL AGAINST ALL!!

- Wear old clothes (or swimsuit) because it will going to stain a lot.
- Wear closed shoes (no flip flops or barefoot), better old ones because you will most likely have to throw it away.
- Wear a pair of diving goggles to prevent tomato from entering the eyes (they are acidic and itchy in the eyes).
- Put mobile, camera, money etc. inside some plastic bags (more than one ...).
- NO BACKPACKS WILL BE ALLOWED: take nothing more than the essential, and nothing of value or that can get wet.
- No need to bring tomatoes ... there will be enough!
