After two years of hiatus due to Covid, the 'Tomatina' is back this year, the goliardic battle to the sound of ripe tomatoes that is celebrated in Spain, in the streets of Bunol, near Valencia, on the last Wednesday of August.
130 tons of tomatoes were unloaded from six trucks and thrown for over an hour by everyone against everyone - about 15 thousand this year the number of participants - coloring the whole city red.
After the friendly, but no less impressive 'fight', everyone under the showers, while the streets were cleaned by the garbage workers.
The traditional Tomatina festival - which attracts more and more tourists every year - began by chance in the 1940s, when a group of friends, joking with each other, began throwing tomatoes into the main square of the town.
In 2002 it was declared a holiday of tourist interest.
