Bunol (la 'TOMATINA')
	The town is not worth mentioning, it is dwarfed by nearby cement works, but it hosts what must be the biggest food fight in the world every August. Bunol is about 30 minutes drive from Valencia. While we were there we met Rowland Riveron who was filming for a holiday programme to be shown in Feb 2002 in the UK. He was a bit apprehensive as he had to stroll into the melee wearing a crisp clean pale bue suit .. the end result was inevitable! The photo below is a taster, for obvious reasons we didn't take a camera and stayed on the periphery as the main street was too rough (although good natured) for young children See web links for full details and more messy photos.
