La Tomatina



I introduce about history of La Tomatina.
La Tomatina started in the 1940s. But the beginnings are not known very well.
There are some storong beliefs of the beginnings.


First, people began to fight the front of the vegetable store and throw tomatoes each other.

Second, tomatoes were thrown among the residents in the fight of class.

Third, residents who have dissatisfaction about politics threw tomatoes against gorvernments. After that , people began to bring tomatoes and throw them on the same day, every year. So the government decided that day as tomato's day. This gradually be more violent and forbidden at once. However, a lot of residents protested at this and started again next year.

This was the beginning of La Tomatina.
