As a welcoming activity, take a look at the video and answer the question underneath.
Have you ever been to Tomatina? If so, tell us about your experience. If you haven't, what were you doing last summer around the time when Tomatina was taking place? (Last week of August) Please, let us know!!
Hi everybody! I am Amparo Ruiz and I have never been to Tomatina but I know what it is due to some friends and the short news on tv.
ReplyDeleteLast week of August I was enjoying with my family in apartment close to the beach, we had nice time making castles in the sand and in the swimming pool.
Hi! I'm Coral Palomero Seijas and like Amparo i've never been to La Tomatina. This festival took place the last Wednesday of August, when I was traveling around Italy with my family. We spent 12 days there and we visited Rome, Vatican, Florence, Pisa, Venice and Verona. It was very nice and we spent a great time there.
ReplyDeleteHi everybody! I'm Carmina Lucas and like my partners I've never been stay in Buñol to saw the Tomatina's party, but I think that I won't go in the future beacause there are a lot of people and it's very stressfull!
ReplyDeleteThis summer, when the Tomatina was taking place I was in Peñiscola with my family. I love this town beacause it's a wonderful place where you can relax, enjoy and have a good time! We usually go every end of summer to recharge and star very good the school year!
Hello everybody!
ReplyDeleteI'm Micaela, I haven't been to Tomatina and I think I'm not going to be ever. During the last week of August, I travelled to Galicia with my family. We enjoyed a lot eating octopus and other gallegas' delicacy. We had a very good weather so we could go to the beach almost every day, and it was wonderful. The only bad thing was the sea was frozen, but that's normal for the Cantábrico sea.
Hello:
ReplyDeleteI have not ever been in the Tomatina but the last week of August I was travelling in Denmark with my family. We enjoyed a lot and the weather was so good because the rain only appeared when we was in the car. When we went to France the weather got better.
Hello,
ReplyDeleteI'm Esther, I haven't been to Tomatina, I don't like playing with food and it's not my way to enjoy. Last week of August I were to my father's village, in Alcaraz ( Albacete ) I was having a rest because I had been travelling for all the summer, I wanted to start the course with energy.
Regards.
Hello! I'm Tania Poyda. I can't tell you nothing about Tomatina Festival because I've never been there. I hear that i's fun.
ReplyDeleteLast week of August I worked a lot and Ihadn't free time for relax. Sometimes, after my work I went out with my family to the beach for swimming and getting a tan.
I would like to tell you about unbelievable expirience working in the Sagunto's parks. Last summer I got a new job and I had the opportunity to learn gardening. It was very hard work because the weather was too warm and everyday I had to wear protetion equipment. However I could learnt interesting things like cleaning the gardens and protetion different plants and trees.By the way, that was a strange assignment for mi because I've never been working in the garden.
Thank you all for making your first comment!
ReplyDeleteHi everyone! I'm Laura;
ReplyDeleteI've never been in Tomatina, but my boyfriend goes every year because of job. He's a TV camera for the TV news, so he goes every year to record it.
He doesn't enjoy this party. He thinks that it's a completely crazy day, because he tries to do his job while people pushes him, throws tomantes and put they stand in front of the camera to say hello, preventing do their job well.
Hi! I'm Ruben.
ReplyDeleteI've never been in Tomatina, because I don't like these kind of parties.
The last week of August I went with some friends of mine to Madrid to see the Lion King Musical. The show was amazing and the actors were very talented but the ticket was very expensive in spite of that fact I really enjoy the show.
We stayed 4 days, the two last days we went to Pinto because one of my best friends live there. We also went to Warner Park; all of my friends love amusement parks and none of us had never been there, so we decided to spent a whole day there. We ride on all the roller coasters and went to see some shows of the park.
Hi, greetings to all, I'm Julian
ReplyDeleteI've never been in the Tomatina, but in August of 1976 I was in Buñol the day before and I enjoyed a beautiful concert of the Buñol's Band.
Twenty years later, in a live broadcast by Canal 9, I identified a friend, a serious and very conservative person, rolling over the multitude and enjoying the orgy of tomato, alcohol and crushing. What things could you see in the TV! Everytime I meet him with his wife I remind it to them.
This year the Tomatina caught me in Noia, Galicia. After a pleasant day visiting the Costa da Morte, I saw in the TV of the hotel a few images of the Tomatina. I was very fortunate to be far away.
Hi everyone!! I'm Silvia.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been to Tomatina, but I would like to live the experience with my friends. I think that it can be funny and enjoyable. Although, at the same time, it's a bit dangerous, because people can damage when they throw tomatoes and some people get drunk and so they lose control.
This year when Tomatina was taking place I was working, because I usually work in summer when workers have their holidays. For this reason I can't go, but I hope to attend this event for once in my life!
I haven’t been to Tomatina, but my son went once many years ago and he told my about your experience. I remember he said the tomatoes were very acid and at the end of fiesta he went a big pool were all people were wiping their body.
ReplyDeleteI don’t remember where I was that day exactly but is sure I was at Sagunt perhaps I went at the beach or I went to my secondary school because we needed organise the course start.
I´ve never been in tomatina also I think I wouldn,´t like it. The last week of August I was in my apartment by the beach with my family. I didn´t go anywhere because I had travelled to North Spain in July.
ReplyDeleteThat´why this year when tomatina was talking place I got relax on the beach and I celebrated my birthday. Also my husband gave me a padel surf and I could enjoy surfing every day while I do sport. It was a fantastic experience.
I can see that you've all had a great time in the summer, in spite of not having been to tomatina! I've never been there myself either and I wouldn't really like to. By what I've heard, it is a thing for young people to enjoy and it is a great tourist attraction for the small musical town of Buñol, as you can tell from the video. As to what I was doing at that time, I had planned a great trip with my boyfriend. We wanted to take our bikes to the county of Cornwall, in the South of England, and go on some bike rides there, but in the end my mother got ill and we had to take her to hospital! So we spent the last fortnight of August there!
ReplyDeleteHi everybody,
ReplyDeleteI'm Nacho and I've never been to Tomatina....and I think it wouldn't like me. Too much people, too much hot, too much alcohol.... you know.
August last week I stayed in a "Alto Tajo" small village. No noise, no traffic jams, no wifi, no whatsapp.... It was a very relaxing week: walking early every day, watching deers, eagles, ...etc
I needed it!! I started working next week...
Hi eerybody,
ReplyDeleteI'm Fina, and I haven't been to the Tomatina festival, neither do I. It would have been easy for me because of, a friend mine has a house in the center of the town, but I've not any particular interest to visit it, furthermore, at this time, I'm usually enjoying my summer holidays,
Last week of August I was around Indian ocean, more precisely, in Bali sea. It was a memorable trip, it's highly recommended, so I encourage you to visit it soon.
Hi Elvira, I'm Cristina Arcos. I haven't been to Tomatina in Buñol, but I would like go.
ReplyDeleteIn summer my family went an aparatament in Almenara beach.I like this because din't massification people, and my friends been there too.
Hi everyone!
ReplyDeleteI´m Begoña. I've never been to Tomatina but I wouldn't like to go.
After watching this video I realised that there are a lot of people waiting themselves to be covered of tomatoes (more that I expected). Moreover, there are a group of people drinking alcohol and I consider that alcohol plus a mass of people is not a good combination.
I hope that Buñol won't be become into the next tourist place like Salou...
Hi everyone!!!
ReplyDeleteI´m Belen. I have never been to the Tomatina party. I don´t like this kind of celebrations, The party so popular especially among the young is a great tomato fight in which participants throw tomatoes at each other.I prefer another kind of party, much more quiet.
The last week of August was with my family in Pyrenees.
A family trip where we enjoyed being together.
is very difficult to get together during the holidays so I hope that this kind of trip is repeated again..
see you!!!!!
