However the most plausible suggests that the most likely explanation dates back to 1945 when an annual parade of enormous figures with big heads (gigantes&cabezudos) was passing through the streets of Bunyo!It seems that some youngsters tired to join in the parade and accidentally knocked over one of the giants who got to his feet and started swinging out at everyone around him. It retaliation the youngsters grabbed some tomatoes from a nearby vegetable stall and started throwing them at him until the police arrived to break things up.:(The following year on the same last Wednesday of august this young people returned to the town hall square and started another tomato fight using their own tomatoes. Again the police intervened and in subsequent years the local council tried to ban the”el dia de la tomatina” but, with little success all event continued to grow year after year reaching the ludicrous size it’s today.
