La Tomatina in Spain
La Tomatina, considered to be the largest food fight in the world, is truly a sight to witness and to be a part of. π
π€
It looks like gazpacho is flowing down the streets, and tomatoes are flying in the air. π
I (Ashley) π participated in the event a few years back, and letβs just say it was one of the longest showers following the event π€£
Not at all embarrassed to say I rocked kids goggles and dollar store shoes! π
A little more about La Tomatina π
β¨FUN FACT: Itβs not a waste of food! La Tomatina only uses tomatoes that are unfit for consumption and would usually be thrown away by vendors or farmers.
β¨RULES:
1. People must not throw any object other than tomatoes.
2. As soon as the one-hour mark is hit, participants should stop throwing tomatoes at each other.
3. Ripe Tomatoes are provided & they must be adequately crushed before throwing.
4. Participants must not tear each otherβs t-shirts off.
5. Residents and local communities must not be bothered by the festivities.
Itβs such a fun experience to spend with people who travel in from all over the world π 10/10 recommend if you like weird, history, culture and donβt mind getting a little (a lot) dirty!
