To sum up the 3 days in Valencia we did a walking tour around the town, went out for drinks and tapas the first night with Aunty jess, Tatum, Nicky and Ash then headed home at 230am for an early night as it was a 6am get up for tomato throwing festival.
Up bright and early with minimal sleep we got the bus to Bunol where the Tomato throwing festival is held. From 8am - 11am people had to try and climb a pole covered in big fat to get the ham that was at the top down. Once the ham is reached the tomato fight begins. This year was the first time in 3 years that someone had gotten the ham down.
4 truck loads of tomatos came out after a cannon was shot to begin the festival. For the next hour we were covered from head to toe in tomatos and were throwing them at everyone and having the pegged at us. We were being squished to pieces in a moshpit. After the festival was over the locals bring out hoses and hose us down and we get back on the bus to head to the beach. It was lots of fun.
That night we did a pub crawl through Valencia where we had a few too many shots and danced then headed home to have an early night (5am) to get the bus to madrid.
