La Tomatina 西班牙丟番茄節
#記得打開喇叭享受臨場效果TurnOnSpeakerToFeelTheRealThing
丟番茄節的由來是二戰後人們遊街丟當地盛產的番茄慶祝。之後成為傳統。節慶的開頭是由一群人試圖爬上塗滿油脂的竿子。竿子上掛了個大火腿。拿下火腿的人則是今年度節慶的王或后。
The origin of la Tomatina is at the end of second world war people threw tomatoes in the street to celebrate. And then it became a tradition. The festival kicks off with a group of people trying to climb up a pole greased with animal fat. A jamón (ham) is hung on top of the pole. The person who removes the ham from the pole becomes the king or queen of the festival.
2016年八月底我們來到這裡做為我們15天旅程的句點。現場充滿了活力與熱情。那種純粹的向心力讓我們的青春再次燃燒起來。嘶喊、人群、酒、番茄和狂熱。我這輩子不會忘記~~
In the end of August, 2016, we arrived in Buñol to end our wonderful trip with a highlight. The event was full of energy and passion. That pure synergy lit up our youth again. Shouting, crowds, alcohol, tomatoes and zealousness. Impossible to forget!!
