LA TOMATINA
History and tradition
The momentum of the youth caused a participant to fall down, who, with anger, began to hit everything in his path. At the whim of fate, there was a vegetable stand that was grazed by the euphoric crowd. The people there were infected and began throwing tomatoes until the forces of public order ended that vegetable battle. The following year, the youth voluntarily repeated the altercation and brought the tomatoes from home, and so on over the years.
Although the Police dissolved the battle on each of those occasions when this recent tradition was reproduced, the young people of Buñol did not give up; and thus without knowing it, they had made history, they had just created La Tomatina party.
The popularity
La Tomatina festival began to be popular in the rest of Spain thanks to the report by the journalist Javier Basilio, which was broadcast on the Spanish Television program “Weekly report” in 1983. Since then, year after year the number has grown of participants and enthusiasm for La Tomatina.
Tomatina’s success
The influx of participants from all latitudes and the increasing interest of the international media, led to La Tomatina de Buñol being declared in 2002 a Festival of International Tourist Interest by the General Secretariat of Tourism.
