A cannon fires.

The crowd roars and dumper trucks arrive, tipping tomatoes into the street. The crowd surges, grabbing tomatoes and hurling them at anything in sight. Within minutes we are ankle deep in tomatoes, water and assorted t-shirts. All three are also hitting us from all sides.

This is the madness that is La Tomatina, the biggest, messiest food fight in the world. For just one hour, the streets are filled with half-naked people covered in the sticky smelly mess. Then, the cannon fires once again and the wonderful Tomatina is over for another year and the cleanup begins.

Just where did it all begin? The story goes that one day in the 1940s a resident of this little town was walking across the town hall square singing, badly, and through a makeshift megaphone. Market stallholders and shoppers expressed their views of his bad singing by hurling tomatoes at him and a salad fight ensued. It was such fun that they decided to do it annually. It has survived bannings and public uprisings over the years to become one of the best known of the Spanish Fiestas of the year.

Oh, and why the goggles? Just try rubbing squashed tomato in your eyes!
Long live La Tomatina!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19929 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19780 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19780 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19778 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19778 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19772
