tomato-throwing festival known as La Tomatina. The one-hour food fight is part of a larger
celebration of Spain’s rich history and traditions and is largely considered a rite of passage
for anyone traveling through Spain.

to take part in it, and some of the members of
the party got angry. There was a small dispute Hosed Down

Events during the days before the fight include a paella
contest near the town’s square, tomato fireworks, and
different music bands and parades around the medieval city
center.

On Wednesday morning, the first event before the tomato

battle is the “Palo Jabón”, centered on a long greased pole
with a piece of ham at its top. The goal is for participants to
climb the pole and make the ham drop, which requires them
to climb on each other. During this effort, other celebrants
sing and dance in circles, and all participants are doused with
water from hoses. Once the ham falls, the tomato battle
commences.
