La Tomatina is a food fight festival held on the last Wednesday of August each year in the town of Buñol in the Valencia region of Spain. Tens of metric tons of over-ripe tomatoes are thrown in the streets in exactly one hour.
The week-long festival features music, parades, dancing, and fireworks. On the night before, participants of the festival compete in a paella cooking contest. It is tradition for the women to wear all white and the men to wear no shirts. This festival started in a casual way in 1945[1], but wasn’t officially recognized until 1952. Approximately 20,000–50,000 tourists come to find out more about the tomato fight, multiply by several times Buñol’s normal population of slightly over 9,000. There is limited accommodation for people who come to La Tomatina, and thus many participants stay in Valencia and travel by bus or train to Buñol, about 38 km outside the city. In preparation for the dirty mess that will ensue, shopkeepers use huge plastic covers on their storefronts in order to protect them. They also use about 150,000 tomatoes, just about 90,000 pounds.

Day 14 August, 2010
La historia de la paella forma parte de la Historia de Valencia en general. La paella valenciana es el manjar más conocido de la rica y variada gastronomía.
El origen de la paella, como el de todos los platos de la cocina popular de cada zona, no es más que la conjunción de los elementos que cada pueblo tenía a su alrededor. En la zona de Valencia, la rica zona de huerta de regadío que dotaba a los habitantes de la zona de verduras frescas, junto con la habitual cría de pollos y conejos para el consumo familiar y la cercanía de la Albufera, además de la existencia de los arrozales, reunía las condiciones necesarias para la creación de este plato. Además, en sus orígenes se decidió añadir a la paella el marisco y el pescado, en la zona del litoral, así como el aceite de oliva propio de la zona del mar Mediterráneo. A la sartén se le llama paella o paellera, dependiendo de la zona de España, de ahí viene el nombre del plato más famoso de la cocina española. La paella es una sartén a la que se le ha suprimido el mango y en su lugar se le han fijado dos asas, para que soporte el peso del guiso. Ha de ser de un diámetro mínimo de unos 30 centímetros y no muy honda, con unos bordes de 7 o 12 centímetros, en función a su diámetro. Existe una gran polémica sobre la auténtica receta de paella. Al ser un plato popular, cada cual hacía la paella con los ingredientes que tenía a su disposición. Si tenía alcachofas, judía verde y pollo, pues la hacía con eso; si no tenía alcachofas, le ponía pimientos… y a toda esa mezcla barroca, se le añadían unos puñados de arroz. Se elaboraba en un solo recipiente y que, además hacía de plato comunitario, porque la paella se comía en el mismo elemento en el que se cocinaba. Con los arroces de pescado o marisco ocurría lo mismo. Se cocinaba lo que los pescadores traían del agua: cigalas, cabuts, cangrejos, galeras, langostas, gambas o rape.
En tu viaje en Valencia no puedes no comerte una buena paella así como no puedes perderte la ocasión de probar una estancia en uno de los apartamentos de Valenciaflats donde encontraras la privacidad y la comodidad de una casa con todos los servicios de un hotel.
