Spanish town turns red in tomato fight
The annual La Tomatina festival in the town of Buñol, Spain, saw the participation of over 20,000 people, as festively engaged individuals threw around 165 tons of ripe tomatoes in a lively and red-filled atmosphere. The festival is held on the last Wednesday of August and dates back to 1945. Tourists from outside the region make up as much as 40% of the attendees, with an entrance fee of 15 euros. Participants usually crush the tomatoes before throwing them to avoid injuries. The event concludes with a street wash-down using water once the tomato fight ends.
