Really, nothing says love like a tomato fight.
La Tomatina, the annual festival in Bunol, Spain, is a photographer’s dream, and apparently a place for lovers, too.
The rules of the big tomato fight, held the last Wednesday in August, are pretty simple:
1. Do not rip other people’s T-shirts
2. You must squash the tomatoes before throwing them.
3. Ensure you keep a safe distance from the lorries
4. As soon as you hear the second shot, you must stop throwing tomatoes
The Boston Globe’s The Big Picture today features the photographic highlights of the event.
