Our team has gathered invaluable insights from years of participation, and we’re excited to share with you the tips that will not only enhance your experience but also ensure you navigate the festival like a pro. Let’s dive into the fun, safely and smartly!
Smart Money Management: How to Keep Your Cash Safe and Accessible
First of all, don’t take giant wads of cash to La Tomatina. The money you do take, however, should be placed in a zip-lock bag and shoved deep inside your pocket, OUR recommendation is 60€ to 100€, which should be more than enough to get some food and drinks. So keep it in your pocket or be smart and simply leave with your bag at our lockers service at our HQ. Secondly, several people carry their money in waterproof cases designed for their phones and then hang it around their neck (simply put it between your T-shirt and your chest, money should be placed out of sight. Remember, where there are loads of people, there is always someone with bad ideas, just be smarter than them.
Staying Safe Among the Crowds: Navigating La Tomatina Street Wisely
There will be about 20,000 to 22,000 people at La Tomatina Street and even if it looks chaotic, it’s all pretty safe. Our recommendation is to be aware of where you locate yourself. If you decide to be at the center of La Tomatina, the street will get super crowded and intense, just mind a bit where you locate yourself, but get ready to have an awesome, messy, and super fun adventure.
Bracing for Impact: The Reality of Tomato Battles and How to Prepare
It´s important to remember that there will be around 120 tons of tomatoes, which means a wonderful chaos, but you need to accept that maybe some tomatoes are going to hurt a little. As well, it´s really important to crush the tomatoes with your hand before you throw them, it will be much better for everyone.
Post-Tomatina Clean-Up: Planning Your Exit and Clean-Up Strategy
When tomato fight is over ( 1pm ) you need to get clean as much as you can for various reasons, one, tomatoes are acid and your skin will start to itch a little, and second and most important, you must get as clean as possible to get back on the buses. You will be able to do that in front of our HQ in Buñol as there are big water pipes to clean yourself up.
Moderation is Key: Enjoying La Tomatina Without pushing too much before it’s not fun any more.
La Tomatina itself it´s a very intense experience

It ends at 01:00 p.m., when you hear the shot, stop throwing tomatoes.
Yes, there will be a locker service, for Boss or Sleepy packs, both have included a locker service at our Headquarters in Buñol, a place to leave your belongings, items like phones, wallets, and spare t-shirt, but items no bigger than 40x40cm.

Backpacks are not allowed under any circumstances. Bottles and other hard objects are not allowed.
The generic answer will be no, but you can enter with GO PROS but without the stick, and it is no problem to enter with your phone if you think you need it inside that madness. But with big and professional cameras, they won´t let you inside Tomatina Street, where all the action happens. It´s not allowed, so what you decide to bring in is up to you.
We recommend you wear our blue Festivals All Around T-shirt, and when the tomato fight ends you can shower with water hoses in front of our Headquarters, and in 15 minutes your clothes should dry out. But you can always bring a spare T-shirt if you wish to change after the fight. For girls, it is highly recommended to bring a sports T-shirt/Bra. About the shoes, bring closed shoes. Not flip-flops or sandals, they will get lost and your feet could get injured! And maybe sandals if you want to for after if you do not want your feet to be wet all the time.
