If you’re interested in joining La Tomatina, there are several things to consider. The event is now limited to 20,000 participants to ensure the safety of everyone involved. Furthermore, the organizers recommend arriving at Buñol a day or two in advance because many fun activities are held in the days leading up to La Tomatina.
During the tomato fight, participants should comply with the rules. Bottles and hard objects are not allowed to be brought to the fight for safety reasons. Only tomatoes that have already been squashed can be thrown at people. A whole tomato may injure someone *if thrown with full force. Additionally, ripping other people’s shirts is strictly forbidden. It is recommended that people wear eye protection gear, such as goggles, since tomato juice is very acidic and can irritate the eyes. Unsurprisingly, La Tomatina is an incredibly messy event, so people should wear old clothes that they don’t mind getting stained.
After about an hour of merriment, the food fight concludes with the second blast of a cannon. Afterwards, the streets look like a scene from an awful massacre, with every surface covered in blood-red tomato juice and pulp. Fortunately, a team of residents is ready to clean up the tomato residue. Many are surprised by how sparkling the streets look after they are washed. It turns out that the acid in tomatoes is great at removing dirt from surfaces.
For those seeking a unique and fun-filled experience, head to Buñol. La Tomatina offers the perfect opportunity to enjoy a food fight like never before.

如果你有興趣參加番茄大戰，有幾件事需要考慮一下。為了確保所有參與者的安全，這個活動現在的人數上限是兩萬人。此外，主辦方建議提前一或兩天抵達布尼奧爾，因為番茄節前幾天會舉辦許多好玩的活動。
番茄大戰進行時，參與者應遵守規定。為了安全考量，瓶子以及硬物不被允許帶入番茄大戰中。只有已經被捏碎的番茄才能用來丟人。一整顆番茄如果被用全力丟出去的話，可能會傷到人。此外，撕扯他人的衣服是嚴格禁止的。建議配戴如護目鏡等保護眼睛的裝備，因為番茄汁液非常酸且可能會刺激眼睛。不令人意外的是，番茄大戰是個非常髒亂的活動，所以人們應該穿著不介意被弄髒的舊衣服。
約一小時的歡樂時光過後，這場食物大戰隨著第二聲炮聲劃下句點。之後，街上看起來像是一場慘烈大屠殺的場景，路面覆滿了血紅色的番茄汁液和果泥。幸好，一些居民已經準備好清理這些番茄殘渣。許多人很驚訝街道清洗完畢後看起來是如此地閃閃發亮。原來，番茄所含的酸對於清除表面的髒汙極其有效。
在尋找獨特又充滿樂趣之體驗的人啊，去布尼奧爾吧。番茄大戰提供了前所未有之享受食物大戰的絕佳機會。

(A) 官員籌劃了這場活動來娛樂年輕人。 (B) 在一場遊行中，當地居民發生了一場食物大戰。
