La tomatina, the Spanish event preferred by backpackers from all over the world

Stunned and happy

"Entomatos" and happy

The above data has been extracted by the hostel booking platform **Hostelworld**, along with other very revealing ones. La Tomatina, for example, is not only much loved by Americans; It is also one of the events that more backpackers from all over the world attracts Spain. Thus, the study concludes that other nationalities that love to dye their shirts organic red are the South Koreans, the Australians and the Canadians.

We understand this fascination: ** throwing things and getting it on ** is almost an ancient desire, an attraction that traps your most primitive cells and encourages them to wallow like a pig in the mud. In addition, La Tomatina does not stop reinventing itself (who would have thought that this could be possible) and now it announces half as a festival of modern (Look, it's going to be broadcast LIVE over the internet!) and half as a ** political pamphlet quite full of rancor **. Be that as it may, it has served to 112 media outlets from around the world (among them, Australians, Swedes, Americans, English and even from Malaysia and Turkey) are accredited for the event.

The calm before the storm

The list, of course, does not end with this crimson sea, and Buñol's appointment is followed in desire for foreign participation by the ** Primavera Sound ** (Barcelona), the April Fair and Holy Week (Seville), which gives an unexpected clerical turn to a list, otherwise, quite cheerful and with a tendency to wildness. The BBK Live festival (Bilbao), Las Fallas (Valencia) and Sanfermines (Pamplona) are also magnets for young people from all over the world; this last celebration, in addition, is the favorite of the Spanish, along with the Valencian festivals.

ABOUT THE STUDY

To reach these enlightening conclusions, we took into account all festivals and events carried out in the country from January to August of this year, putting them in common with the number of reservations on the dates of the respective event and the day before it began.

In addition, to understand the real impact of the holiday, that is, the increase in the number of reservations, compared the data obtained with the reservations made during the week before and after the event. Finally, in order not to favor the celebrations that last a week with those that last a day, it was divided the number of impact by the number of days of duration from the party.
