1000s of people hurl tomatoes in Spain for La Tomatina Festival

AKIPRESS.COM - Spain’s annual world-famous food fight, La Tomatina, took place September 1.

The fight brings thousands of locals and tourists together to throw tomatoes at one another and has been held in the Valencian town of Buñol since 1945.

At this year’s fiesta, 160 tons of ripe tomatoes were offloaded from trucks and given to the barely dressed crowd.

The tomato-slinging lasted for an hour and yielded some gloriously saucy results.
