La Tomatina
Buñol, SPAIN
TOSS A TOMATO IN Buñol
Get down and dirty at the world’s largest, messiest food fight in fabulous Spain! Every year 120 tons of tomatoes are dumped in the Mediterranean village of Buñol, just waiting to be thrown at La Tomatina. In true crazy Spanish festival nature, you’ll have a one-of-a-kind experience with heaps of partying through the night!
Adrenaline runs high at La Tom, and nothing feels better than absolutely hurling tons of tomatoes at your friends and fellow revelers! It’s cathartic, messy, and a story you’ll be telling for decades. If you’re looking for a festival with the perfect balance of relaxation, partying, and culture, you’ve found it.
Spend the morning taking a dip in the Med or kicking back at the beach with friends, head into Valencia to see what the city has to offer, and check out the local nightlife. On the day of La Tomatina a cannon will fire signalling the start of the food fight and tomatoes will fly! You’ll have an unforgettable Spanish experience for the books.
