Very cool! I love Valencia and always wanted to go to Las Fallas

Fallas is amazing .. our favorite festival. But they have so many other festival throughout the year. Our goal is to go to some of the small town summer festivals around. They're intense!
Have you been to the wine festival that's near La Tomatina the night before? I went years ago... It's incredible, and a million times better than Tomatina. Starts with a corrida in the bull ring and then everybody parades through town where water trucks full of wine will fill any container you give them. It basically turns into a waterfight with wine. I can't remember the name of the town or festival though...
It might have been Utiel or Requena ... I can't stand La Tomatina!!! They actually have one now twice a year. It's totally in the hands of the foreigners now. And I won't go near .. hate tomatoes .. hehe.
Yes! It was Requena. brilliant festival! Yeah Tomatina was awful when I went around 12 years ago
We never went .. we try to make it to the wine festival this year. It has gotten so much worse now. La Tomatina is almost a shame. It has nothing to do with Spanish culture anymore :(
