The Tomato Festival in Spain is very lively. What kind of festival is it?

This is a unique festival in Spain. Spanish people like red very much, and tomatoes are red. People want to use tomatoes to create a festival, and the output of tomatoes in Spain is also very large.

Celebrating Tomatina only requires two things: tomatoes and a crowd. Tomatoes are provided by the authorities and people from all over the world will start a one-hour vegetable battle. During that time, locals and tourists enjoy Crazy Tomatoes. People attend this carnival and immediately envy Spain's "Tomatina Festival". Everyone wore short sleeves and rode the cool breeze in the sea of ??soft and rotten tomatoes. It's a beautiful summer day. The painting style for Tomato Day is as follows: Don’t be afraid, the red color is mashed tomatoes, not blood!

This festival also has an origin. There are different opinions on the origin of this festival. One of the accounts is that, according to legend, one day a small band in the city blew trumpets from the city center, and the leader turned the trumpets into the sky. At this time, a group of young people caught the tomatoes on a whim, threw them into the horns, and then compared with each other to see who could throw the tomatoes in. This is the origin of the "Tomatina Wars".

There is also a theory that in 1945, a parade was held in the town. A young man was pushed into the crowd. After getting up, he picked up tomatoes from a roadside food stall and smashed them. As a result, everyone was crushed. The next year, a group of young people brought tomatoes to the square and started a "Tomato War." Since then, the "Tomato Fight" has gradually become a custom among the residents of the town.
