The rules....

If you want to keep having a funny Tomatina Festival, you must respect these rules:

    It is held on the last Wednesday of August, during the week of festivities of Buñol.
    La Tomatina begins at 11.00am with a bang and ends at 12.00am on point with another.
    Do not enter bottles or hard objects because you can cause an accident or damages to
    your battle’s fellows.
    Do not tear or throw your T-shirts to others
    
Squash the tomatoes before throwing them, the hit will be less painful.
    Keep a safe distance of the lorries.
    Stop to throw tomatoes when you hear the shot of the second warning firework.
    Follow the security staff directions.
