Spain’s Tomato Fight Festival – Samsung AD Making Film
La Tomatina, a tomato fight festival, held every summer in Spain, attracts party-seekers from all over the world to flock to the town of Bunol to fight in a battle where rotten tomatoes are thrown in the streets.

This traditional tomatoe battle is celebarting during 64 years at Bunyol, Valencia, Spain. ‘La Tomatina’ is the end of party of Bunyol festivities.

Bunyol in Valencia celebrates each last August wednesday ‘La Tomatina’ festival. During hours, the streets are plenty of people fighting with tomatoes and painting all in red.

Nevermind world crisis, each last August wednesday, thousand of people fight every year for their own lifes. Their weapons are tomatoes and their enemies are everybody. Without no escape. It doesn,t matter your social position, faith or whatever you think about you. Inside the tomatoe fight you soon become red, all become red. Tomatoe Red.

La Tomatina festival in Spain gives new meaning to the expression ‘playing with your food’. For most of the year Bunol is a ho-hum industrial town, 40km (25mi) from Valencia, quietly going about its own business. But come the last Wednesday of August, the town’s streets turns into a salsa riot, with over 20,000 revellers pelting each other with large, red, squishy tomatoes.

The standard uniform is an old T-shirt, old shorts and eye goggles. T-shirts with bullseyes printed on them are not recommended. Nearly 140 tons of tomatoes are trucked in from around the countryside and the argy-bargy begins with the firing of a rocket. An hour later the end of the festival is announced with the firing of another rocket and the clean up of the tomato-slimed streets begin.
