La Tomatina Festival, The Tomato throwing Festival is held on the last Saturday of August every year and has been a regular event since 1945. La Tomatina is one huge tomato fight and each year around 30,000 people turn up to take part. The festival starts early in the morning when everyone turns up and dines on a breakfast of Chorizo and Rose wine. By 11am in the morning everyone’s inhibitions are loosened and five huge tomato filled rockets are sent into the skies above the town. From this point it is every man, woman and child for themselves as the event turns into a tomato slinging war. Everyone is supposed to adhere to a small number of rules: You must squash the tomato before throwing it and you are not allowed to throw anything other than tomatoes. Each year the Tomato throwing Festival lasts for around two hours and in total some 125,000 kilos of tomatoes are squashed and thrown. The festival also brings out community spirit where everyone helps out with the clean up.
