Summer 2006 - Le Tomatina - coming soon!
Well another cold day with grey sky's - at least we had a summer to remember - floods at Glastonbury and swimming in the puddles afterwards is just one of things that we did - the other top event was Le Tomatotina a 1st for us here at Backpackertours (and I must admit we are on the jaded side) this was one event that was completely out of control. You would think that after all the years and events from the love parade in Berlin to snowboarding in the alps with couple of African safari's and trips to south America in between we though we had seen it all - not so this completely spun us out!
Next years schedule isn't quite ready to go yet (we are still waiting on flights to be confirmed) - however I've posted below last years four day flight package as soon everythings set we will post it on our special events pages.
Until tomorrow I'll leave you with a link that will make you wish that a new series of survivor was being filmed at the minute.
Day 1 Our tour group meets at Stansted Airport bright and early where you will be greeted by your tour leader and the rest of your traveling companions. Upon arrival in Valencia we will make our way directly to our excellent city centre hotel where we will be accommodated throughout our stay.After check-in the group is invited to get together for a drink in the hotel before we head out to sample the famous Valencia nightlife.
Day 2 Today you have the entire day free to get out and explore the fabulous city of Valencia whether it be in the old town or out at the fabulous beaches. In the evening you have the chance to travel out to one of Valencia's surrounding villages and partake in an all night grape and wine festival. This event is one of the highlights of the tour and an amazing experience. The group leaves at 9pm and returns at 4am back to Valencia in order to prepare for La Tomatina.If you choose to stay in Valencia for the night we have a local bar organised for a pre-tomatina party!
Day 3 La Tomatina Festival: Today is the reason we are here in Spain so after an early start we will transfer to Bunol for the world famous 'La Tomatina' tomato fight! The preparations start in the early morning and by midday it's time for the festivities to start. The tomato fight lasts for one hour and is an experience you will never forget. (see the festival details)After the tomato fight has concluded we spend a few hours in Bunol cleaning ourselves off before transferring by charter coach back to our hotel in Valencia. After a long shower we will join together at a local bar to compare stories from this amazing day.
Day 4 A slow start to the day today as we continue the long process of removing every last piece of tomato from ourselves!Today you have free time to explore more of Valencia or perhaps head out to the beach. Check-out of our Hotel is midday but the Hotel will securely store our luggage until the evening flight. After you days activities, the group will join together at 4pm and head out to the airport for the return flight to London. Upon arrival in London it is time to bid farewell to our travelling companions as our tour concludes.
