Tomatina....
 
Hi guys,

Has anyone taken part in the Tomatina in Bunol ???

We are going with a few friends and are really excited about it.....although we can not book a coach......aaaarrrrgh....too much mess apparently ;) Looks like Mr E's driving .....

Anyway just wondered if anyone's got any tips or stories to share.....

It was wet, mad and messy!

Been twice, and loved it, wear a padded bra, ENS will be a touch embarrassing when they start hosing everyone down.

You will have such fun!!!!

Buy some plastic dust sheets to put over the car seats to protect them for the return journey.

Enjoy.
