Festival Expereinces
Departure city: Valencia, Spain
End city: Valencia, Spain
Valencia’s La Tomatina is a bucket list event that every year sees 20,000 people descend on the small town of Buñol just to throw tomatoes at their friends, enemies, strangers and loved ones. The history of La Tomatina goes way back, with records of tomato fights in the village starting in 1944 at least, and today people come from all over the world to enjoy the experience of throwing some 120 tonnes of tomatoes at each other. It is quite simply the most fun you can have with your food, so join in on this one-of-a-kind spectacle in 2023.
At 10:00 am the campsite opens for check-ins.
Once you have settled in, go out to explore the grounds of your campsite. Meet your new friends and join in for beach activities, or head into Valencia to see what the city offers before discovering the nightlife.

La Tomatina Fight
Wake up at 6 am for an early breakfast and bloody marys! Take your bus at 7 am to the Tomato Fight! At 10 am, the crowd scrambles to reach a leg of ham balanced on a 5m high wooden pole. When (if) someone reaches this ham, the tomato fight officially begins!
If no one reaches the ham before 11 am a rocket is launched and trucks carrying tonnes and tonnes of tomatoes are dumped throughout the street. Prepare yourself for an hour of absolute carnage of throwing fleshy fruit at strangers, friends, family, locals and tourists alike. Following the fight, we’ll head back towards the buses. You can stop off to be rinsed for a coin donation by locals with their garden hoses. Remember to bring a spare change of clothes!
At 2 pm the busses leave to head back to camp, then at 8 pm the busses head to the Official La Tomatina After Party.

Time to say goodbye
At 3 am the busses return from La Tomatina Afterparty. Enjoy your last scrumptious brunch at the campsite and spend the day hanging out and recovering. Grab some food from the café, jump in the pool, work on your tan and finish that book you’ve been carrying around forever on the beach.
Once you are ready to leave, say goodbye to your new friends before continuing your onward journey.
