La Tomatina Hotel Package - 4 Days


The La Tomatina festival certainly gives new meaning to the expression 'playing with your food'! For most of the year Bunol is a sleepy little ho-hum industrial town just 25 miles outside of Valencia! But come the last Wednesday of August, right at the peak of tomato season, suddenly the town's streets turns into a salsa riot, with over 20,000 revellers pelting each other with large, red, squishy tomatoes. Crazy, or what? Our comfortable hotel is right in the city centre so that you can easily explore Valencia, and there is a roof top bar and pool for you to chill out in.

 

LA TOMATINA HOTEL PACKAGE - 4 DAYS

 

Day 1: Monday 23rd August
After making your way to Valencia please head to your Hotel any time from 4pm onwards where you will be able to check into your allocated rooms. The hotel we utilise is a fantastic hotel in the centre of the city making it the perfect place to base yourselves for the week. The group is invited to get together tonight for a festival briefing and a welcome drink in the hotel before we head out to sample the famous Valencian nightlife.

 

Day 2: Tuesday 24th August

Today you have the entire day free to get out and explore the fabulous city of Valencia whether it is in the old town, the world-class aquarium and city of Arts and Sciences, or out at the fabulous beaches. Your tour leaders will be on hand this morning to help plan your exciting day!

In the evening we offer an optional excursion  where you have the chance to travel out to one of Valencia's surrounding villages and partake in an all night wine and water festival. This event is one of the highlights of the tour and an amazing experience. The group leaves at 8pm and returns at 4am back to Valencia in order to prepare for La Tomatina. Sounds like a long night but all our passengers of the past have absolutely loved it and even rated it above  the experience of La Tomatina!

 

Day 3: Wednesday 25th August
La Tomatina Festival: Today is the reason we are here in Spain so after an early start we will transfer to Bunol for the world famous 'La Tomatina' tomato fight! The preparations start in the early morning and by midday it's time for the festivities to start. The tomato fight lasts for one hour and is an experience you will never forget. After the tomato fight has concluded we spend some time in Bunol cleaning ourselves off before transferring by charter coach back to our hotel in Valencia. After a long shower and a swim in the rooftop swimming pool, we will join together at a local bar to compare stories from this amazing day.

 

Thursday 26th August
A slow start to the day today as we continue the long process of removing every last piece of tomato from ourselves! Today you have free time to explore more of Valencia or perhaps head out to the beach. Check-out of the hotel is midday which ends our accommodation package. Happy travelling!
