TOMATINA Y SANDIA





Sombreros de la sandia del desgaste de los jaraneros como participan en el festival tradicional de tomatina en Bunol, Valencia, Espana. Sostenido cada ano el miercoles pasado de Agosto, cuentas con la particpacion de diez de millares de gente. Cerca de 115,000 kilos de tomates se lanzan durante la lucha de una hora del tomate.

(Revelers wear watermelon hats as they participate in the traditional tomatina festival in Bunol, Valencia, Spain. It is held each year on the last Wednesday of August, counts with the participation of tens of thousands of people. About 115,000 kilos of tomatoes are thrown during the one-hour tomato fight).

This is a very exciting tradition, and am looking forward to join this year's revelry!

I had one piano student, a Malaysian married to a Spanish. He said, the festival is really fun!

@ Anon,

Sa panahon ngayon, we really have to be frugal and keep our expenses as low as possible. I agree with you, sayang ang kamatis, maraming nagugutom sa mundo.

Have you tried sauted tomatoes, onions, and garlics. Tapos lagyan mo ng toyo, pwede ng ulam ha!

Bay Martin said...

Pa-sauted-sauted ka pa, ginisaaahhh!!!

Of course, bukod sa appetizer na pwede na rin ulam, o laban ka?
