La Tomatina is a food fight festival held on the last Wednesday of August each year in the town of Buñol in the Valencia region of Spain. Tens of thousands of participants come from all over the world to fight in a brutal battle where more than one hundred metric tons of over-ripe tomatoes are thrown in the streets.

I made a last minute stop in Buñol on a trip to Benidorm for another shoot and was blown away, you can be sure I will visit again next year. There are tourist from every corner of the earth, especially japanese and australians, which expand the normal population by 5-6 times what it would be otherwise.
