I said I would do some articles on the places that we plan to visit during the epic trip around Europe next summer, so let's start off with an amazing festival in Valencia, Spain.
La Tomatina
A festival where participants throw tomatoes at each other!? Awesome. It is always held on the last Wednesday in August in the town of Buñol, Valencia.
It just so happens that we'll be travelling through Spain in the last week of August. It was complete coincidence too. I had no idea what time of year that La Tomatina took place, and when I stumbled across it again recently and saw the date, an idea began to form in my head...
An idea where me and my best friends in the world, surrounded by thousands of people, become French fries personified - and covered in ketchup. Pretty weird really, considering that I prefer mayonnaise on my chips.
I'm going to be pretty scared to get my camera out to take photos when I'm there, just in case it gets drenched in tomato.

That's some hot tomato action :3
whoaaaa!! I hope to attend this once. Must be a killer experience :)
i feel like eating some ketchup now lol
Great post.
hahahah it seems so much fun! wish i had the chance to go the festival.
Mayo throwing would be terrible. In the hot sun? Oh man, I think I will be sick. Back to Ketchup!
If you're a girl going to this be prepared to have your top ripped off. When I was in Morocco I met a few people who had just come from this and that was their experience of it. Oh, that and groping.
That sounds like such ridiculous fun. I wanna go.
Haha, looks crazy fun, but your last sentence summed up my immediate thought - I would dread photographing that event!
I was about to ask where all that blood came from, but then I read the text underneath :)
Looks like a lot of fun.
Ha ha its amazing how many tomatoes will get used in that festival.
the tomato parade looks crazy

Damn this looks so fun! id love to go ;D
Love the new outline. Also, I hate this post since I hate tomato since the smell of it gives me headache...
This looks crazy!
I would want to go to this event, but I despise tomatoes as a food.
I was thinking that too.. You will need a tomato-proof camera!
I have been there too!
Ahhhh!! I wanna experience that at least one time :D
loos like soo much fun.. nice blog header / art btw.
this looks awkward and uncomfortable...but damn awesome too. Maybe if you wrap some plastic over your camera it will make it out ok?
