Spain's saucy food fight
An estimated 20,000 people threw 130 tons of ripe tomatoes in the world's biggest tomato fight held annually in this Spanish Mediterranean town.
Thousands of people splattered each other with tons of tomatoes in the annual Tomatina battle in recession-hit Spain, with the debt-burdened town charging participants entry fees this year for the first time.
Bunol town said some 20,000 people took part in Wednesday's hour-long street bash, inspired by a food fight among kids back in 1945.
This year participants were charged 10 euros ($13) to foot the cost of the festival. Residents did not pay.
