La Tomatina - The World's Biggest Food Fight
Afternoon all of you out there on the interweb type thing -
Well we have finally sorted out all the details for a unique experience - La Tomatina - basically it's the worlds largest foodfight - some where around 30,000 gather in small Spanish village and at around 11:00 125,000 kilos of ripe tomatoes are dropped in the middle of town and the insanity begins.
It's absolutely chaos for around an hour before everyone helps tidy up the town, cleans themselves up and then start to Party - the tours are at the end of August and you can see all of them by clicking here.
I've added the most popular tour itinerary below - enjoy your weekend.

Upon arrival in Valencia we will make our way directly to our excellent city 4 Star centre hotel where we will be accommodated throughout our stay. After check-in the group is invited to get together for a drink and to run through all the details before the big day. 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.
