There are only people in this town. But it attracts more than 1,000 visitors to the event. Most people who take part end up staying in Barcelona or Valencia. There is a beautiful historical castle worth visiting. But basically the biggest draw for tourists is the Tomato Throwing Festival. You may have seen the video before and wondered what the point of this massive food fight was. Who came up with the idea of gathering thousands of people in a Spanish town to throw tomatoes everywhere? There is actually no concrete evidence of the event. How it originated.
There are some theories though. One of the main reasons why this tomato-throwing C Level Contact List festival started is that the tomato sauce originated from a religious procession that went horribly wrong. The story goes that some young people started causing a disturbance during the march which caused an important participant to fall to the ground. A fight ensued. stall with lots of tomatoes. In a chaotic fight people started grabbing tomatoes and throwing them at each other.
For whatever reason the town rekindles the tomato fight year after year. The event was banned several times during Spain's Franco dictatorship. But that didn't stop the city from eventually becoming an official event after the end of Franco's regime. It became popular in Spain and internationally during the 1990s. The event has attracted more than 100 attendees over the years. But the town decided in 2012 to limit participation to 10,000 people for safety and economic reasons. What the hell is going on during ketchup? Is it just throwing in some tomatoes? Well mostly yes. But the festival does start with a fun and popular competition called ó. Now imagine a big, greasy pole as tall as a two-story building. A piece of ham is placed on top. The prize is a ham and obtaining it requires a lot of agility and courage.
