	The Fiestas of Spain : La Tomatina in Buñol, Valencia
		The "batalla" takes place during a week-long celebration filled with on-going festivities and with even greater anticipation for the monstrous tomato battle that serves as the culmination of the week's events.
		The night before La Tomatina, the narrow streets beneath the town's imposing Medieval bell tower are filled with tomatoes, in a much more palatable form than they will be the next day!
		Everyone then reconciles with their former targets and fellow warriors and heads down to the river to remove the saucy mess from hair and body.

	Tomatina - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		La Tomatina is a festival held on a Wednesday towards the end of August in the town of Buñol in the Valencia region in Spain.
		Tens of thousands of participants come from all over the world to fight in a harmless battle where more than one hundred metric tons of over-ripe tomatoes are thrown in the streets.
		Possible theories on how the Tomatina began include a local food fight among friends, a juvenile class war, a volley of tomatoes from bystanders at a carnival parade, a practical joke on a bad musician, the anarchic aftermath of an accidental lorry spillage.

	La Tomatina Tomato Fight in Bunyol
		There is little accommodation available in Buñol so the best idea is to stay in a hotel in Valencia (about 40km away) and arrive by local bus or rent a car though this might not be a great idea considering the amount of beer available before and after the tomato battle.
		The tomato battle ("tomatina") is one of the most popular and worldwide recognized Spanish festivals, where everyone can participate in throwing tomatoes at one another.
		The town square (where the "tomatina" is traditionally held nowadays) was crowded with young people of that time to witness a "Gigantes y Cabezudos" parade (giant carnival figures with a grotesque head).
