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.
