La Tomatina stands as Spain’s most renowned festivity and unfolds in Buñol, Valencia, Spain, occurring annually on the final Wednesday of August.
For those seeking an unforgettable summer escapade, secure your Tomatina passes today. Moreover, explore an array of accessories to amplify the enjoyment of your day.
What Happens at La Tomatina Contrary to common belief, La Tomatina is not merely about hurling tomatoes; rather, it encompasses a day brimming with diverse activities commencing at 9 a.m. with a delightful luncheon courtesy of the Buñol City Council.
At 10 a.m., the much-anticipated «Palo Jabón» contest kicks off. A greased pole topped with a tempting ham awaits challengers. Will anyone triumph over the slippery ordeal and claim the coveted prize?
If the ham proves elusive, release your pent-up energy by partaking in the tomato-throwing extravaganza, the highlight event of the day. Around noon, commences the globally renowned showdown: La Tomatina!
There is limited accommodation for people who come to La Tomatina, so many people take the easier option of staying in nearby Valencia just 38km to Bunol by bus or train. In preparation for the dirty mess that will ensue, shopkeepers use huge plastic covers on their storefronts in order to protect them from the carnage.
