1. La Tomatina, Spain: Every year in the small town of Buñol, Spain, thousands of people gather for La Tomatina, a massive tomato-throwing festival. Participants hurl overripe tomatoes at each other in a chaotic and exuberant display of fun, turning the streets into a sea of red. The origins of this unusual tradition date back to the 1940s, and it has since become one of Spain’s most famous and iconic events.
