Another event you can witness if you book your holiday villa rentals in Valencia is the La Tomatina Festival. This amazing festival is held every year in the town of Buñol which is just a short journey away from Valencia City. The event is free and starts at 11 o’clock but it is not for the faint-hearted as it is very messy! The day’s events begin with a ham being tied to a greased pole and before the event begins, someone must climb up the pole and get the ham. This is followed by absolute pandemonium as millions of tons of tomatoes are dumped from the backs of trucks. What follows is a tomato and water fight - great fun if you like that sort of thing! It's a good idea to travel there from your holiday in Spain villa as early as possible so as not to miss the fun and to bring a change of clothing. Trains run approximately every hour to Buñol but they can get very crowded on festival day.
