Some 15,000 people, including many tourists, pasted each other with tomatoes Wednesday as Spain’s annual “Tomatina” street battle took place in the eastern town of Buñol.
西班牙年度「蕃茄大戰」街頭戰在東部小鎮布尼奧爾舉行，約1萬5000 人——包括許多遊客——週三互抹蕃茄。
Workers on trucks tipped 120 tons of overripe tomatoes into the main street of the town for participants to throw.
卡車上的工人將120噸過熟的蕃茄傾倒在鎮上主要街道，供參與者丟擲。
The street fight leaves both the street, its houses and participants drenched in red pulp. The town hoses down the area and the revelers shower off within minutes of the hourlong noon battle finishing.
這場街頭大戰讓街道、房屋和參與者都沾滿紅色果肉。鎮上用水管沖洗了該區，狂歡者在長達1小時的午間戰鬥結束幾分鐘內沖洗完畢。
The festival, held on the last Wednesday of August, was inspired by a food fight between local children in 1945 in the town, located in a tomato-producing region.（AP）
