La Tomatina - Tomato Tossing Time

A crazy, crowded, messy melee -- that's La Tomatino, the annual tomato throwing festival in Bunol, Spain (near Valencia) Wednesday. Imagine a mosh pit with tomatoes added, plus some diversions like climbing a greased pole to capture a ham. Getting the picture? Check out some visual aids and the whole La Tomatina 101 from About.com's Guide to Spain, Damian Corrigan, and enjoy!
