Na onbekend zuid-oost Europa gaan we doorrrrr naar.... Spanje! jaja en wel naar Valencia. Klinkt dat saai? Dan heb je nog niet van het Tomatofest gehoord! In Bünol vindt jaarlijks de laatste woensdag van de maand het Tomatofest plaats.

En als diëtist is alles met eten interessant.. :) Na werken in de aardbeien- ('99) en de meloenenplantage ('10) en zelfs in de bananenplantage ('10) is het nu tijd voor THE BIGGEST FOOD FIGHT wereldwijd :)

Hoe het begon (Engels):
The Tomatina Tomato Fight started in the 1940s, for reasons unknown, in the village of Buñol, near Valencia. What began as a civil disturbance that was broken up by the police became adopted by the citizens of Buñol every year thereafter, eventually attracting huge international crowds. Various theories have been put forward about the exact origins of the event:

- It was the result of a street brawl near a grocery store.

- It was a practical joke on a particularly bad musician.

- The tomatoes were being thrown at an unpopular local politician.

- It was a school food fight that became adopted by the rest of the townsfolk.

- Whatever the reason is for the Buñol's annual food fight, the Tomatina Tomato Fight now attracts people from all over Spain and the rest of the world, each fourth Wednesday in August....

En daar wil je dus bij zijn :)
