According to site, there were a few rules for those participating in La Tomatina to keep the event safe for themselves and others. Attendees were strongly encouraged to wear protective goggles and gloves, and also to leave any bottles and hard objects at home to avoid injuries.
“One of the most important rules that many people didn't realise is that tomatoes must be crushed before they are thrown. Another big rule is ‘Do not tear other peoples clothing’, however this one tends to be ignored!” the spokesperson added.
It’s no surprise then that TheWorldEvents.com advised travellers to wear old clothes, as they ended up being will stained and even ripped.

However, according to the website’s creators, Spain has some of the most exciting festivals of all. It just recently celebrated the Running of the Bulls, which is held in Pamplona as part of the San Fermin Festival in July.
“Many of us have seen this event on TV or the movies but may not realize what it is in reality. In a morning race, the runners dash down a half mile stretch from the Santo Domingo corrals that go to the bull ring. These bulls are then killed later in the day during the daily bullfight."
