Buñol is a small town in eastern Spain, best known for hosting La Tomatina, a famous tomato-throwing festival held every August. Thousands of people from around the world gather to take part in this one-hour food fight, where overripe tomatoes are hurled in the streets. The event began in 1945 during a local parade and has since become a major tourist attraction, with entry now requiring tickets and rules in place to ensure safety and fun.
