La Tomatina T-Shirts

Emm … Yikes. Ok I hate fresh tomatoes. In sauce, cooked, ketch-up, soup, juice no problem but I could never bite into a whole fresh ones. It totally grosses me out. So above festival is a huge NO for me. I’d go and film and take pictures from a Balcony for our Valencia blog, since the town Buñol is only 30 minutes from Valencia. But actually being down there swimming in tomato puree. No Thank you. I should add my disgust to the Random Good Stuff post about weird phobias. !

The reason I’m not there is the cost for a spot on a balcony is juicy € 3.000 per person. Apparently a group of foreigners booked all balconies, hotel and hostels in Buñol, so they can make huge profits from it. Talking of destroying a fun for everyone tradition for some profits! And the tourist office in Valencia has not attention to help us out with anything even though for a lot of things we are the English speaking resource #1! So buck it!

Ok, stopping now with the bitch fest – here are more fun videos of La Tomatina in Buñol:
