In the
South-eastern Spanish town of Bunol an estimated 40,00
people took part in the annual tomato fight that is held on
the last Wednesday in August. Bunol is a well renowned vegetable
growing region. 'La Tomatina' lasts only an hour or two
and originates from the 1940s battles between local friends.
Now it is a highlight on the European tourist calender.
