La Tomatina Prepared by Boris Shulga K 35 -f 15
La Tomatina (Spanish pronunciation: is a festival that is held in the Valencian town of Buñol, a town located in the East of Spain 30 km / 19 miles from the Mediterranean, in which participants throw tomatoes and get involved in this tomato fight purely for entertainment purposes. Since 1945 It has been held on the last Wednesday of August, during the week of festivities of Buñol.
The following year the young people deliberately repeated the fight on the last Wednesday of August, only this time they brought their own tomatoes from home. They were again dispersed by the police. The food fight became an annual event.
Rules of the festival The city council follows a short list of instructions for the safety of the participants and the festival: 1/The tomatoes have to be squashed before throwing to avoid injuries. 2/No other projectile except tomatoes are allowed. 3/Participants have to make way for trucks and lorries. 4/After the second shot indicative of ending the tomato hurl, no tomat oes should be thrown.
In 1950, the town allowed the tomato hurl to take place, but the next year it was stopped again. Many young people were imprisoned but Buñol residents forced authorities to let them go. The festival gained popularity with more and more participants every year.
Thanks for watching!
