Not sure when I first heard about the La Tomatina festival, but I immediately knew it would be something I would really enjoy. I was close to booking a flight to Alicante from Morocco and getting transport to Valencia/Buñol this last August. I did not have time to plan in advance and all the hostels were filled and the same for couchsurfing. I had read that people camp in the main square of Buñol the night before which would’ve been fun. Unfortunately the timing did not work out and I climbed Jbel Toubkal with a group of friends instead. I know attending next summer is ruled out as well due to other plans. I will be there one day however.
There are actually a few things I want to do in Spain that happen in the summer, including running of the bulls in Pamplona and walking El Camino de Santiago. I really need to just spend a summer in Spain and accomplish these goals.
