Tomato fight

Revellers throw tomatoes during the annual 'Tomatina' (tomato fight) in the Mediterranean village of Bunol, near Valencia, August 30, 2006. The origin of the tomato fight is disputed - everyone in Bunol seems to have a favourite story - but most agree it started around 1940, in the early years of the dictatorship of General Francisco Franco.
