Spain's Tomato Fight
Stoke Travel likes nothing more than hurling a tomato at a friend's face. That's why La Tomatina Festival 2018 is one of our favourites! It's therapeutic, squashing and throwing salad vegetables, knowing that nobody's going to get (too) hurt. This summer, in August, Stoke Travel will again descend on the Spanish Mediterranean city of Valencia, with the intention of throwing as many tomatoes as we can at each other, at strangers, at locals and at ourselves. Stoke's La Tomatina includes massive campsite parties with live performances by Hiaground, The Kiwi Pips, Honey Hayze & Mesmeriser, your stay in pre-erected twin share tents with mat and sleeping bag, hot and hearty breakfast each morning, dinners every second night, transfers to & from the tomato fight, experienced guides to lead you through the mayhem, beach games and a bloody mary the morning of the tomato fight!
Chances are that you've heard of La Tomatina, the Spanish fiesta that sees thousands of revelers fill the streets of Buñol, a small village outside of Valencia, with the intention of partaking in what is probably the world's biggest food fight.

The tomato fight only goes for a couple of hours, but Stoke Travel likes to make the most out of our days in Valencia. We'll explore the city, swim at the beach, try Valencian paella, go the Water and Wine festival (optional), play beach games, shake the tomatoes off us at the official La Tomatina after party and our legendary campsite parties.

Our La Tomatina campsite parties feature DJs and bands, our bar is fully stocked with unlimited, cold beer and sangria, and you can drink as much as you want, during opening hours, for only €10 a day. When you do La Tomatina with Stoke Travel you will meet people from all over the world, and then throw tomatoes at their faces. It's an amazing deal.

LA TOMATINA ACCOMMODATION

As we're pretty accommodating folk and want your tomato throwing experience to be as stress-free as possible, we can pre-erect tents, blow up mattresses and roll out sleeping bags ready for your arrival. Our kitchen crew are there to cook up a culinary storm each morning and every second evening so your stomachs are lined for the weekend's drinking and antics, including a world-class paella the night before the fight. And as always, we'll be hosting the best and biggest party outside of the party, and you're all invited. There is a pool, bar and restaurant on site, and we're less than five minutes walk from the beach. The Stoke Travel crew are expert tomato throwers and even better at having fun, and our campsite parties are legendary. Join in as much fun as humanly possible with open-minded international friends at La Tomatina Festival 2018.

LA TOMATINA TOURS

Stoke Travel's campsite is open from the 27th of August until the 31st. For your La Tomatina trip you can stay for the whole time, or for a minimum of two nights.

Meet us there or jump on one of our private return transfers running from Barcelona, Madrid and San Sebastian. Not ready to leave us yet? Jump on the Tomatina to Ibiza trip!

LA TOMATINA INFORMATION

When: Stoke Travel's La Tomatina camp is open from the 27th - 31st August. The festival is on the morning of the 29th August and begins with the crowd trying to climb a greasy pole and claim the ham at the top. Once the ham is secured the Tomato Fight starts, which is usually around 10am on the 29th August and lasts for two hours. The Water and Wine Fight is the night of the 28th and the official La Tomatina After Party is on the night of the 29th.
Where: Valencia, Spain's third largest city, about 3.5 hours south of Barcelona. The Stoke Travel beachside camp is located in Puçol, to the city's north, and the tomato fight is in Buñol, in the hills behind the city.
How: Valencia is serviced by most budget airlines, Spain's national rail service, and many coach companies. Stoke Travel also operates private coaches from and returning to Barcelona city centre.

WATER AND WINE FIGHT | 28TH AUGUST

The night before La Tomatina Festival 2018, you can head to the Water & wine fight in Requeña and it won't break the bank at €20 for the transport. We go there, we lurk about in the streets drinking and chilling with the locals. You have the option to go into a fake bullfight (meaning no cute, little bulls get killed) - the bracelets are available there so you can just get 'em on arrival. Later, we all head through the streets lead by a brass band and the locals go nuts with wine and water and general frivolity... and so do we. Take a cup with you to drink deeply of the spoils of this cultural, calamitous water and wine war.

PRICE: €60| AU$ 87 | US$ 67 | £52 PER NIGHT

STOKE TRAVEL PASSPORT HOLDERS: Eligible for a 3-night all-inclusive stay.

La Tomatina is a food fight festival held on the last Wednesday of August each year in the town of Buñol ( history) near to Valencia in Spain. Thousands upon thousands of people make their way from all corners of the world to fight in this 'World's Biggest Food Fight' where more than one hundred metric tons of over-ripe tomatoes are thrown in the streets.

Prior to 2013 anywhere from 40,000 to 50,000 (reported to be 50,000 in 2012) people crammed into this huge tomato fight, greatly expanding Bunol's normal 9,000 person population. Since 2013 official ticketing has been in place limiting the number of participants to just 20,000 lucky people.

There is limited accommodation for people who come to La Tomatina, so many people take the easier option of staying in nearby Valencia just 38km to Bunol by bus or train. In preparation for the dirty mess that will ensue, shopkeepers use huge plastic covers on their storefronts in order to protect them from the carnage.

What Happens at La Tomatina

At around 11am many trucks haul the bounty of tomatoes into the centre of the town, Plaza del Pueblo. The tomatoes come from Extremadura, where they are less expensive. Technically the festival does not begin until one brave soul has climbed to the top of a two-story high, greased-up wooden pole and reached the coveted ham at the top. In practice this process takes a long time and the festival starts despite no one reaching the meaty prize. The signal for the beginning of the fight is firing of water cannons, and the chaos begins. Once it begins, the battle is generally every man for himself.

After an one hour the fighting ends. At this point, no more tomatoes can be thrown. The cleaning process involves the use of fire trucks to spray down the streets, with water provided from a Roman aqueduct. The authorities seem more concerned with cleaning the town than cleaning the visitors, so some people find water at the Bunol River to wash themselves, although some kind residents will hose passers-by down. Once the tomato pulp is flushed, the ground is clean due to the acidity of the tomato.

The Rules of La Tomatina

Do not bring bottles or hard objects as they can cause accidents and hurt other participants

Do not rip other people's T-shirts

You must squash the tomatoes before throwing them as this reduces the impact

Ensure you keep a safe distance from the lorries

As soon as you hear the second shot, you must stop throwing tomatoes

Useful Advice

Wear closed shoes that you do not mind throwing away afterwards. If you wear flip-flops, you may get hurt, or you could lose them easily during the battle

Wear old clothes, or clothes that you are not planning to wear again. They will most likely end up damaged from being ripped or incredibly dirty

You may find goggles useful. However, it is safer if you just ensure that you always have something clean to wipe your eyes with. The best thing is if you tuck your T-Shirt into your shorts to keep the bottom part of your T-shirt clean and dry

If you are planning to take pictures, bring a waterproof camera!

If you are not from Bunol, and you want to stay overnight, don't forget to look for and secure accommodation in advance

Do not miss the Palojabon - a greased pole with a Spanish ham at the top. Whoever can climb the pole and get the ham can keep it!

Stay safe and enjoy the festivities as much possible

How did La Tomatina Start

The tomato fight has been a strong tradition in Bunol since 1944 or 1945. No one is completely certain how this event originated. Possible theories on how the Tomatina began include a local food fight among friends, a juvenile class war, a volley of tomatoes from bystanders at a carnival parade, a practical joke on a bad musician, and the anarchic aftermath of an accidental lorry spillage.

One popular theory is that disgruntled townspeople attacked city councilmen with tomatoes during a town celebration. Whatever happened to begin the tradition, it was enjoyed so much that it was repeated the next year, and the year after that, and so on. The holiday was banned during the Spanish State period under Francisco Franco for having no religious significance, but returned in the 1970s after his demise.

The festival is in honor of the town's patron saints, Luis Bertran and the Mare de Deu dels Desemparats (Mother of God of the Defenseless), a title of the Virgin Mary.
