Tomato throw festival in Spain

La Tomatina takes place in the town of Buñol which is near Valencia in eastern Spain.

At the annual fiesta, 175 tonnes of ripe tomatoes are offloaded from seven trucks into the crowd packing the streets for an hour-long battle.
The tomato fight leaves the participants and the town's streets awash with red pulp. The town is hosed down minutes after the event ends at noon, while participants can use public showers.
The paid-entry event was inspired by a food fight between local children in 1945 in the tomato-producing region.
As this is bean celebrated in spain, getting tomatoes a big problem to the extent it was tagged tomato ebola which trended on twitter for hours on Wednesday.  A state of emergency has been declared in the tomato sector in Kaduna state, in the north of the country and farmers are said to have lost up to 80% of their tomato crop.
Nigeria's Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Audu Ogbeh, said that his office had commissioned experts to look at the issue as "ordinary pesticides cannot tackle the disease because the tomato moth multiplies so fast.
