La Tomatina takes place in Valencia in Spain. It is a peculiar tradition that takes place annually on the last Wednesday in August. At the peak of the tomato season a wild battle develops as thousands of people pelt each other with ripe tomatoes. Rivers of tomato sauce run down the streets. After the tomato war is over, everyone gathers at the town square for food and wine festivities.
The weird tradition of Goose Day, as the locals know it, takes place in Lekeitio. A goose is hanged from a rope over a harbour while men pass by on a boat and try to grab the poor animal. They are lifted up and repeatively plunged into the water until they successful pull off the neck of the goose. This is absolutely horrible and so cruel. :smack2:
Spain really is a crazy country! July 7-14th is the annual Running of the Bulls festival in the city of Pamplona. A herd of fighting bulls are let loose onto the streets after a crowd of young men. The aim of the runners is to try and feel the breath of the bull on their backs. Unfortunately, lots of young men get injured doing so.
