La Tomatina

Each and every August in Buņol (a picturesque Spanish village just outside of Valencia) La Tomatina, the world's largest food fight is played out. The missiles, tomatoes, the targets, anyone crazed enough to turn up, the result, tomato-based carnage. Welcome to La Tomatina!

As history spells it out, what began in 1944 as a simple tomato fight between a group of friends in the town's main square - the Plaza del Pueblo - has turned into arguably the worlds largest food fight. Actually, there is very little to argue about.

But contrary to all this evidence, La Tomatina, an annual, city-wide, tomato riot, remains an inexact science. One would think that after 63 - or is it 64? - years, the residents of Buņol, Valencia, Spain, would have their facts straight. Some say La Tomatina uses 150,000 tomatoes. Other claim the number is over 1 million.
