La Tomatina 3 days |
Imagine a small street, less than a quarter mile long in a tiny Spanish town, packed with over 20,000 people slogging each other with tomatoes… Spain has some truly crazy festivals, but La Tomatina wins the award hands-down for the craziest and the messiest. On the last Wednesday in August each year, the inconsequential town of Buñol holds the world's largest organised tomato fight. Buñol is located in the region known as the "Communidad de Valencia", 30 miles west of Spain's third largest city Valencia. |

Pamplona - running with the bulls
Lying within the rolling green hills of the Basque countryside in Northern Spain is Pamplona. The sleepy capital of the Navarra region explodes from a modest population of 180,000 to over 500,000 during Spain's most notorious Festival - San Fermin, more commonly known as 'the running of the bulls'.
