Festivals appear to be the coolest method to take a break and venture from your ordinary life. Do you know whatever other spots where you can smash a stranger with a pillow or hurl a squashed tomato into someone’s face without being fined? These opportunities attract millions of people, and at times, these battles are not only full of fun, but also full of messiness.

Getting greasy at Cascamorras Festival. The festival was inspired by a dispute between the Spanish town of Baza and Guadix over the possession of an icon of the Virgin of Piedad. The Cascamorras from Guadix, sent to Baza to recover the statue, attempt to stay perfectly clean to gain possession of the statue while Baza’s residents attempt to make them as ‘dirty’ as possible.

Hoje, é o dia da La Tomatina! 🍅 Se trata de uma das festas realizadas na cidade de Buñol, em Valência, Espanha, na última quarta-feira de Agosto. . A festa consiste no arremesso de tomates entre os participantes. São muitas as teorias da origem da festa, que começou com o desfile de bonecos gigantes por jovens e uma guerra de comida entre amigos, usando os tomates como “arma”.🍅 . Mas uma informação útil: os tomates usados na Tomatina são cultivados propriamente para isto, e é uma espécie de tomates não tão boa para o consumo. Ou seja, não é tão desperdício assim. Pode se divertir sem culpa. . Você participaria dessa guerra de tomates?🍅🍅🍅 . . . #rotaamada #buñol #España #latomatina #latomatina2018

Watch the video, and if you are planning a trip to Llanwrtyd Wells before the end of the month, you can stop by and enjoy an event the town is surely proud of. #youthtime #youthtimemagazine #youthtimemovement #ytmagazine #ytmovement #bestfestivals #colorful #festival #фестиваль #туристамназаметку #туристуназаметку #путешествия #кудапоехать #snorkeling #wales #worldbogsnorkellingchampionships #worldbogsnorkelingchampionships #snorkelingtime #snorkelingday #funny #adventuretime #уэльс #подводноеплавание #подводой #чемпионат
