Bunol, Spain -

Thousands of revelers take part in Spain's annual tomato fight.

Tens of thousands of people hurled truckloads of tomatoes at each other on Wednesday, at the annual "Tomatina" festival in the small Spanish town of Bunol.

Trucks arrived with 120 tons of ripe, juicy plum tomatoes - to the delight of waiting revelers, many of them wearing diving masks, who were gathered in the town's main street.

The Tomatina is held annually on the last Wednesday in August. It is said to be the world's largest tomato fight.
