Itinerary
Own arrangements to Valencia. Check into either the Abba Acteon or NH Las Artes Hotel. Taxi from the airport costs approximately $30 or from central train station about $5-$10 or about a 20 minute walk.
Pre La Tomatina Party
Following the meeting warm up for a huge day at our exclusive welcome party at the fabulous Umbracle Terrace nightclub, right in the heart of the City of Sciences and Arts. Free entry and cheap drink deals to all PP passengers.
At 8pm meet your Rep at the hotel reception, for a welcome briefing before heading out for our welcome party. At this meeting you be given a full run down on what to expect at La Tomatina and how to get the most of this amazing event and how to get right into the heart of the action the following day.
After an early breakfast, we transfer by coach to Bunol journey time approximately 1 hour. The Tomatina festival commences around 11am, following the desperate attempts of the human ladders to grab a large ham at the top of a greased pole in the centre of town.
Several dump trucks full of tomatoes are emptied into the main, very narrow street of the town and then the fun really begins with the locals and other travellers covering each other in tomatoes. After approximately one hour a gun blast signals the end of the fight and everyone goes for a welcome shower (if they can find one) and joins in the fiesta. We depart Bunol mid afternoon returning to our hotels in Valencia for another much needed wash and rest.
Tonight is a free night and a chance to head into the fabulous old town of Valencia. We also offer free admission to the official La Tomatina After Party if you arrive before 9pm ($20-$25 after 9pm). This is nearly as big as the event itself, with over 3000 people attending this great outdoor event. You are to make your own way from your hotel.
Our La Tomatina tour finishes after breakfast today. For those of you who wish to stay on extra nights they are available on request although they must be booked before the tour begins to be certain that a room is available.
Flights to Valencia
The best site we believe to book your own flights is Opodo. It was created by the major European airlines and offers usually the cheapest options with them all. This site is also excellent for flights into other major cities like Barcelona, Madrid or Alicante.
