@pbsnews: An estimated 20,000 took to the streets of Buñol, Spain Tuesday to participate in a food fight. More specifically, the 80th anniversary of the La Tomatina festival. Food of choice: overripe tomatoes, 240,000 pounds of them to be exact.T he festival, said to be inspired by a 1945 food fight between children pelting tomatoes at each other, has been held every year, only suspended in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. For Buñol, which was hit hard by flooding in 2024 that affected much of the Valencia region, the event was a resurgence. “After what we lived and suffered, with this [La Tomatina] we say, 'Valencians are here to make a comeback,'" Buñol Deputy Mayor Sergio Galarza said. #spain #latomatina #foodfight #news
