Más de 22.000 personas participan en Buñol en la tradicional fiesta de La Tomatina con 150 toneladas de tomate

La Tomatina returned to the Spanish town of Buñol, turning streets red with over 22,000 people and 150 tons of tomatoes in what has become Spain's most international festival El Periódico. The annual celebration draws crowds from around the world who gather to throw ripe tomatoes at each other in a massive, messy food fight that lasts roughly one hour.
La Tomatina sees participants armed with buckets, baskets, and bare hands flinging 150 tons of tomatoes across Buñol's main plaza El Periódico de Aragón. The sheer volume transforms the town into a sea of red pulp within minutes. Participants range from locals to international tourists, all united by one goal: throw as many tomatoes as possible.
La Tomatina has grown into Spain's most internationally recognized festival, attracting over 22,000 people from dozens of countries La Opinión de Murcia. The event takes place in Buñol, a small municipality in Valencia's province. What began as a local tradition has transformed into a global spectacle that draws food-fight enthusiasts year after year.
Organizing the festival requires massive logistics El Periódico Mediterráneo. Town officials must source 150 tons of tomatoes, set up barriers to protect buildings, and manage traffic for thousands of visitors. After the battle ends, crews work quickly to clear streets and restore the town to normal. The tomato remains the star—ripe, overripe, and perfect for throwing.
