La
Tomatina is held each year in Spain in the month of August. This food
fight festival includes people throwing more than a hundred metric
tons of over-ripe tomatoes at each other. People participate in the
paella cooking competition, a night before the tomato fight. The
first event of La Tomatina first begins at 11:00 am. The festival is
accompanied by music, dance, parades and lots of fireworks. Hope you liked my recipe, Spanish omelette. So let's
