La Tomatina Festival

La Tomatina is an annual festival held in Bunol, Spain. Just for fun, locals and tourists throw tomatoes at one another during this colorful festival. Here are some of the best images from this years ‘La Tomatina’ Festival.

A woman lays in a puddle of tomato juice during the annual ‘Tomatina’ tomato fight fiesta in the village of Bunol, 50 kilometers outside Valencia, Spain, Aug. 27, 2014. The streets of an eastern Spanish town are awash with red pulp as thousands of people pelt each other with tomatoes in the annual ‘Tomatina’ battle that has become a major tourist attraction. At the annual fiesta in Bunol on Wednesday, trucks dumped 125 tons of ripe tomatoes for some 22,000 participants, many from abroad to throw during the hour-long morning festivities.

Pretty cool, I remember in the hindi film Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara the actors took part in this festival.
