La Tomatina FAQ's

Is the Tomato Fight at La Tomatina dangerous? General requirements and information for families.

La Tomatina, like all our holidays are party tours which suit outward going, energetic young people. As is written in our booking conditions, often large quantities of alcohol are consumed. Please consider whether this is the right sort of holiday for you before you book. This should especially be considered by families if they are considering booking. There is no age restriction on our tours, but parents and guardians are urged to consider the above before booking on any children. Also we are restricted by local laws in regarding access to minors to any planned events that involves alcohol.

The crazy packed event of La Tomatina is inherently crowded and dangerous. Passengers are very likely to experience wild crazy behaviour. Naturally these events are suited for adults. As per our full booking conditions, participation is entirely at your own choice and risk. You are responsible for your own safety and well being.

An event like La Tomatina is suited to fully abled people. There's no facilities for disabled. Passengers must walk approximately 1.5km from the coach park down a step hill (and back up) from the coach park. There's no transfer options available from the coach park.

We do not encourage you to engage in any dangerous activity or to drink excessively. We cannot accept responsibility if you drink too much or engage in dangerous activities and suffer injury, illness, death, loss, or damage as a result.

The City Council of Bunol who organises the tomato fight, La Tomatina, welcomes participants aged at least 14 years old, but preferably 18+. You should note that the people in the tomato fight can get pretty carried away randomly throwing tomatoes in all directions. It can, wherever you may be in the tomato fight, get very full on. There are no real vantage points within the tomato fight where you can just stand back and take in what is going on as a spectator. You are either in, or not.

Important Things to Remember
Do not bring bottles or hard objects as they can cause accidents and hurt other participants.
Do not rip other people's T-shirts.
You must squash the tomatoes before throwing them as this reduces the impact.
Ensure you keep a safe distance from the lorries.
As soon as you hear the second shot, you must stop throwing tomatoes.
Follow the security staff directions.

It is important that you note that the Pre La Tomatina Party and Official After Party are both held within licensed venues and entry is restricted to people 18 years of age and over. This is due to Spanish licensing laws. Sorry, but people under 18 years of age will not gain entry to these events.
