Is Tomatina the Fourth or the Last Wednesday of August?
Most Augusts only have four Wednesdays and usually, the Tomatina Tomato Fight takes place on the fourth and last Wednesday of the month. However, 2001 had five Wednesday and the event was (apparently) held on the 22nd - the fourth Wednesday - not on the last Wednesday of the month. But in August 2007, which again had five Wednesdays, the even was held on the last Wednesday of the month. Confused? I am!I emailed the organizers of the event and they have told me the event is always held on the last Wednesday of August.
It can be difficult to get accommodation on the night before the festival. For a bed in a youth hostel, check HostelWorld.
