Presenter: Today I’m talking to Jorge Benito about La Tomatina, the Spanish festival where people throw tomatoes at each other. Jorge, how did this festival start? Jorge: No one really knows why but we know the first one was in 1944 or 45. Some people say it was a food fight between friends and others that a lorry carrying tomatoes tipped over and people collected the damaged tomatoes and started throwing them at each other. It’s a mystery really. Presenter: Where does it take place? Jorge: Although many towns have festivals, this festival only happens in Buñol near Valencia on the last Wednesday in August and people come from all over the world to take part. In fact over 40,000 people used to visit the small town. However, since 2013 we’ve had to sell tickets so there are no more than 20,000 visitors, because it’s too dangerous with so many people. Presenter: What happens on the day of the festival? Jorge: At 9 a.m. people gather in the main square and can have breakfast, which is provided by the town hall. Then, before the tomatoes arrive mid-morning, residents throw buckets of water over the people waiting in the square. Presenter: I suppose it’s a good idea to wear old clothes then? Jorge: Oh yes. We also advise people to wear closed shoes, because if they have sandals on, their feet could get hurt. Presenter: And when does the throwing start? Jorge: The tradition is that it doesn’t start until someone climbs up a pole covered in soap to reach a ham at the top. But people often can’t wait so the fight often starts before that. Trucks of tomatoes arrive mid-morning and people on the trucks usually throw the first tomatoes. Presenter: How long does this fight last? Jorge: Only about a couple of hours because then everyone involved has to clean up the town. Everything is covered in bits of tomato and becomes completely red, but by mid- afternoon it’s all clean again. Presenter: Are there any rules? Jorge: Oh, yes. People mustn’t bring bottles or hard objects and they’re not allowed to pull each other’s clothes. And, most importantly, they must squash the tomatoes before they throw them so they’re not too hard when they hit someone. Presenter: I must get tickets for next year’s festival.
