    Spain is famous for its tomato festival, called La Tomatina蕃茄派队. It happens in a small town Hanoi(河内)on the last Wednesday of August every year. During the festival there are all kinds of activities, but the most exciting part is the tomato fight. It takes place at the end of long celebration. You're encouraged to throw tomatoes in the fight. There're many stories about how the festival began. One of the stories goes that during the 1940's, some friends started a tomato fight, while another story is about a local band. Anyway, everyone in Bunol seems to have a different story.

    Before the tomato fight, there are parades(游行), musical bands, street parties and so on. On the day of the fight, shopkeepers cover their windows and doors in order to keep away from the tomato fight. At the same time, thousands of tourists and local people come to the town square together. Then large trucks(卡车) full of tomatoes arrive. From the back of the large trucks, a great town band start to throw tomatoes at others. Then the crowds fight back, throwing the tomatoes at anything and anyone. Soon the streets are in the sea of red tomato juice.

    Everyone is supposed to obey a small number of rules; You must squash(压烂) the tomato before throwing it and you are allowed to throw nothing but tomatoes.

    It is usually over in less than half an hour. Everyone then sets off to the river to clear up. Sounds like fun!
