La Tomatina
La Tomatina takes over the small town of Buñol near Valencia on the last Wednesday of August, when tens of thousands of people pelt each other with ripe tomatoes in a one-hour street battle. It is one of Spain's most famous and joyfully messy festivals, easy to reach as a day trip from Valencia. Heading elsewhere on your travels? See our guides to Songkran, Web Summit and Inti Raymi.
