LA TOMATINA 2009 We left the Plaza Ayuntamiento at 0845 and got to Buñol in great time for the fight - a long walk, helped by sangria and a couple of beers down in to the centre of the village to the action. The cannon was fired at precisely 11am and the fight began - by 12 it's all over and back to the coach having been hosed down on the way (and got a couple more beers) Changed into clean clothes for the journey to Cheste - where hot showers a swim or two, Lunch and a rest in the sun were waiting - then 3 coaches full of sleeping people back to VLC by 6pm Thisisvalencia.com organizes this and other tours every year - contact us at info@thisisvalencia.com for more information on what we offer.

LA TOMATINA It has to be said that the Spanish may sound like lawless funsters who disobey all the rules but the reason that La Tomatina and other fiestas in Spain are fun and relatively accident free is that they do in fact respect the rules. La Tomatina lasts for exactly one hour from the cannon shot, once the Ham has been won from the 'Soap Pole'. It ends with another cannon. The Spanish rarely continue after the cannon. The Organisers tell you to squash tomatoes prior to hurling them, They can really hurt if they hit you, whole, in the face. T-shirts must never be knotted and thrown, a wet t-shirt with a knot in can do serious damage. Ladies, do wear a bather under your t-shirt or top, you will more than likely lose your top during the battle... Never take valuables or passports into the fray - there is a serious amount of pickpocketing at La Tomatina each year - make sure, if you are on a coach, that they will look after your belongings while you battle. Or leave your things for a few euros with one of the villagers offering the service on the way into the village. Oh, and bring a change of clothes, and if you are on our tour, bring your swimmers RULES AND SUGGESTIONS FROM THE ORGANISERS OF LA TOMATINA These are virtually verbatim from their copy, we've changed a bit of spelling and grammar, but 'tip for enjoyment' number four is classic, RULES The City Hall of Buñol has prepared a list of rules which will ensure that the Tomatina remains a celebration. These simple rules of civic responsibility and cohabitation are important for the festival to develop as usual, without any problem: · You must not bring bottles or other type of objects which could cause an accident. · You must not break(knot) or throw T-shirts. · The tomatos must be squashed before throwing them, to avoid hurting people. · You must be careful of any lorry. · When you hear the second shot, you must stop throwing tomatos.
