Join the world\u2019s largest food fight<\/strong> in Spain<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the small town of Bunol, located in Spain\u2019s<\/a> Valencia region, things take a turn for the messy in late August. Once a year, the town\u2019s 2000 locals are joined by thousands of tourists to participate in La Tomatina, the world\u2019s largest food fight: hundreds of thousands of kilograms of tomatoes are thrown at buildings, participants, and anyone else within range! The festival is limited to participants who buy tickets, and space fills up quickly, so if you\u2019re dreaming of letting loose and joining in the fun, make sure you plan well in advance. There are six simple rules every participant must follow:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Do not throw hard objects<\/li>
  2. Do not tear or throw t-shirts<\/li>
  3. Squash tomatoes before throwing them (this avoids participants being hurt by firmer tomatoes)<\/li>
  4. Keep a safe distance from trucks<\/li>
  5. When you hear the second pistol shot, stop throwing<\/li>
  6. Follow the security staff\u2019s instructions<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Conquer new heights<\/strong> in France<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Mont Blanc, one of the highest mountains in Europe (and the highest mountain in the Alps), is more than an adventure – climbing this 4,808.7 metre (15,777 foot) mountain located on the border between France<\/a> and Italy<\/a> is a challenging experience travellers won\u2019t soon forget! While the climb itself isn\u2019t technically difficult, changeable conditions along the way and a high risk of altitude sickness make scaling Mont Blanc an experience travellers should carefully prepare for. There are no official permits required to climb the mountain, but a guide is strongly recommended – Mont Blanc is the most dangerous mountain in the region, and inexperienced alpine hikers especially should enlist the services of a guide to assist them with the climb. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Go island-hopping<\/strong> in Greece and Croatia<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Have an adventure at sea! There are plenty of opportunities for island-hopping in Europe, but two of the most popular options are the islands of Greece and Croatia. Both destinations boast stunning views, ancient history, and friendly locals, but are possibly best known amongst island-hopping travellers for their legendary nightlife. It may not be an extreme trekking vacation, but if your idea of an adventure is sailing, diving, and exploring by day and dancing all through the night, island-hopping in Greece<\/a> or Croatia<\/a> may be calling your name!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
