The Tomato Festival in Buñol is the most internationally renowned in the province of Valencia. On the last Wednesday in August, thousands of people come from all over the world to prepare for the enormous tomato battle which is the Buñol Tomatina. Over one hour, between 12 midday and one o'clock in the afternoon, seven trucks unload over 10 tonnes of ripe tomatoes for the pleasure and fun of those present. An accidental confrontment between villagers in 1945 using tomatoes as ammunition was the start of this festival which is now the main attraction of the festivals in the town.
