Worlds Biggest Food Fight -Valencian Town Of Bunol Tomato
Worlds Biggest Food Fight -Valencian Town of Bunol Tomato
TENS of thousands of revellers hurled 120 tonnes of squashed tomatoes at each other, drenching the streets in red in a gigantic annual Spanish food fight known as La Tomatina.
A sea of more than 40,000 alcohol-soaked men and women packed into the Plaza Mayor square of Bunol, eastern Spain, many with their shirts off and wearing swimming goggles to keep out the stinging juice.
Spectators peered over the balconies of surrounding buildings, some also chucking tomatoes on chanting, dancing food-fighters below, who covered the square like a carpet.
Five trucks loaded with the tomatoes struggled to find space in the human tomato soup to enter the square.
But as they unloaded the edible ammunition, the square and surrounding streets were suddenly awash in a sea of tomato sauce, covering the crowds of festival goers.
"I can't throw fast enough. This is crazy. It's my third year," said one battler, Angel, as he pelted others with tomatoes, which must be squashed before being chucked so as to minimise the pain.
"It is a battle of crazy people, who get on together, and no injuries," said another, Nestor, who after being slathered in tomato in previous years chose to watch from balcony, spraying others with a water hose.
