Spain's Festival ~Tomatyna~


Our group will introduce "Tomatyna" in Spain. The origin of this festival is that one man threw tomato when he fought other. This fight was settled by policemen, but next year, the same members gather last year, and they fought with tomato again, but they bring them tomato from this year. The city hall prohibited it because it followed every year. But local inhabitants objected a prohibition of tomato battle. Thanks to the desire of inhabitants, the reopening of the festival was admitted. There seem to be some opinions else. Also this festival has some rules. It is very funny rules. Please check this site.
