La Tomatina, that funny-crazy festival that is the ultimate in mucky food splash-fights – biggest in the world – happened in the tiny, otherwise unexciting town of Bunyol, near Valencia in Spain. Swimming in tomato-tomatina pool.Thousands of Spaniards hurled 120 tons of plums tomatoes at each other this week in Bunol, Spain's annual food fight.The event, held each year on the last Wednesday in August, has its origins in a food fight between childhood friends and has become a calling card for the town, which is 25 miles north of Valencia. Legend holds that the event began in the mid-1940's after a group of children started a food fight near a vegetable stand on the town square. They met again the following year and threw at each other and passers-by -- to begin the tradition.The festival draws thousands of participants from around Spain and abroad. An estimated 40,000 people took part this year. The Tomatina Legend is like festival in ThaiLand,SongKran Festival http://song-kran.blogspot.com/
