Tomatina La Tomatina (Spanish pronunciation: [la tomaˈtina]) is a festival that is held in the Valencian town of Buñol, a town located 30 km from the Mediterranean, in which participants throw tomatoes and get involved in this tomato fight purely for fun. It is held on the last Wednesday of August, during the week of festivities of Buñol. History[edit] The most popular theory about how the Tomatina started is that, in 1945, during a parade of the "Little Rabbit" some woodland animals were eating all the watermelon so, the people at the parade threw tomatoes at the animals; one missed and hit a person. The following year the young people repeated the fight on the same Wednesday of August, only this time they brought their own tomatoes from home. Another important landmark in the history of this festival is the year 1975. Description[edit] Preparing the "palo jabón". Throwing tomatoes from a truck. At around 10 AM, festivities begin with the first event of the Tomatina. Rules of the festival[edit]
