Do you know "Tomato Festival"? Maybe you have heard or watched this festival on TV or something. This festival called La Tomatina is a food fight festival held on the last Wednesday of August each year in the town of Buñol in the Valencia region of Spain. Thousands of participants come from all over the world to fight in a brutal battle. The week-long festival features music, parades, dancing, and fireworks. On the night before the tomato fight, participants of the festival compete in a paella cooking contest.
I want to talk about the history of La Tomatina. The young person was fighting in 1945, and the one person from the group took the tomatoes from the greengrocer and threw out to the other group. Then a police officer came there and this fighting was over, but next year, the same day, they started to throw tomatoes to someone. But that year, the tomatoes were not to be stolen, but to be brought from their own house.
This festival looks exciting, but I don’t want to go to La Tomatina. How do you think? Do you want to go to La Tomatina? If you go there, I suggest that you should wear the red T-shirt because the tomatoes are red.
