Always on last Wednesday of August

Place: Main square in Buñol, Spain.  Just west of Valencia

Why you want to go:  the chance to smear 240,000 lbs. of tomatos on 30,000 people while wearing protective goggles.

Logistics:  Buñol is pretty small and does not accommodate very well with its one hotel.  Staying in Valencia and traveling over to Buñol for the event is the best option.  Whereas Valencia is not on a lot of travelers radar it is a very good destination and well worth a visit, especially during this event.

Place to stay:  Try Home Youth Hostel.  As of the time of this post on August 14, 2007 they still had rooms and beds for between $22 for a bed in a dorm to $30 for a room.

Happy tomato fighting and let us know how it goes.
