oldest clothes so he doesn’t get his best clothes dirty. He also always puts his camera in a plastic
bag to keep it clean. In the morning trucks arrive in the main square, the Plaza del Pueblo, bringing
more than 100.000 kilos of tomatoes. The fight begins at 11 o’clock and always lasts for two hours.
