📜 How This Madness Started
It all began in 1945 when, during a parade, a group of young people started a fight by throwing tomatoes from a nearby stall. The idea was such a hit that, year after year, the tradition grew until it was declared a Festival of International Tourist Interest in 2002. Since then, thousands of people from all over the world gather in Buñol to take part in this red war ❤️
