Thousands of ecstatic revellers dived into tomato pulp as ‘La Tomatina’ food fight festival kicked off on August 26 in Spain’s Buñol. During the annual event in Buñol, attendees throw tomatoes at each other for one hour. Organizers expect 22,000 participants from around the world this year and say 150,000 kilograms (330,693 pounds) of tomatoes will be used. The event, banned for a time during the 1950s at the height of General Francisco Franco's dictatorship, has drawn a huge international following in recent years. #tomatoes #spain #europe
