The La Tomatina festival was held in the Spanish city of Bunyol, during which about 20 thousand people threw tomatoes at each other. "Fights" are held on the last Wednesday of August, and a volley of water cannons informs about their beginning. Before throwing a tomato, it must be crushed - this is one of the rules of the holiday. The confrontation lasts an hour, after which the "battle" ends. To clean the city from the consequences of the struggle, the authorities help local residents.
