It is claimed to be the biggest food fight in the world. What Happens at La Tomatina At around 11 am, many trucks carry more than one hundred tons of over- ripe tomatoes into the centre of the town, Plaza del Pueblo. Technically the festival does not begin until one brave soul has climbed to the top of a two-story-high wooden pole and reached the ham at the top. In practice this process takes a long time and the festival starts despite no one reaching the prize. The signal for the beginning of the fight is the firing of a water gun. After one hour the fighting ends and the cleaning process begins. The Rules of La Tomatina Do not bring bottles or hard objects as they can cause accidents and hurt other participants; Do not tear other people’s T-shirts; You must squeeze (捏碎) the tomatoes before throwing them; As soon as you hear the second shot of the water gun, you must stop throwing tomatoes. Useful Advice Wear old shoes and clothes that you do not mind throwing away afterwards. They will most likely end up damaged or incredibly dirty; Don’t wear slippers. You may get hurt, or you could lose them easily during the battle; If you are not from Bunol, and you want to stay overnight, don’t forget to look for and secure accommodation in advance.
