Trip Description:
La Tomatina in Bunol, Valencia is the largest food fight on the planet. Every year approximately 40,000 tomato enthusiasts turn up for the biggest tomato fight in the world.
Five bulbous, tomato-packed rockets are sent whistling into the sky to start the festival of La Tomatina. The masses congregated below then launch into a one hour frenzy of tomato throwing -it's everyone for themselves.
One of the highlights of First Festival Travel's tour packages is the optional excursion to a nearby village to experience their all night wine & water festival. Join us for the festival experience of a lifetime!
**Upgrade to a private twin or double room for an extra £40 per person
Please mention your upgrade requests to us when you book your tour! Limited spots available
