Tomatina: La guerra más divertida

La Tomatina es una de las guerras más largas de la historia. Se celebra desde 1945. Todo empezó con una disputa entre gente del pueblo y con un puesto de verduras cercano. Así, por casualidad, surgió  una de las fiestas más conocidas del mundo. 

Tomatina de Bunyol. La guerra del tomate.

La fiesta de la Tomatina se celebra el último miércoles de agosto en el municipio valenciano de Buñol. 22.000 personas se dan cita cada año para lanzarse tomates, casi 150 toneladas. 

Todo empieza a las 10 de la mañana, con primer evento, conocido como el “palo jabón”.  Esta prueba consiste en trepar por un palo embadurnado de jabón, para lograr alcanzar un jamón que cuelga de lo más alto, como una bandera. Una vez conseguido que alguien se haga con el preciado jamón, hacia las 11 de la mañana, suena un traca y da comienzo la gran batalla del siglo. A partir de ahí todo es historia. 

La escuela de español Taronja va todos los años a la Tomatina con su alumnos. Nos levantamos bien pronto para hacer un típico almuerzo valenciano y coger fuerzas para la batalla que nos espera. El gran Chef Nando prepara unos jugosos bocadillos que son devorados con alegría. 

Después de almorzar nuestras tropas se dirigen a la lucha, bien pertrechados con gafas, ropa para la ocasión y todo tipo de objetos curiosos.  ¡Ah, y hay reglas, como toda guerra entre gente educada!

  1. No se pueden lanzar objetos. 
  2. No se pueden romper las camisetas de otros participantes. 
  3. Los tomates se deben aplastar antes de tirarlos. 
  4. ¡Cuidado con los camiones que traen los tomates!
  5. Trae tu peor ropa. No la volverás a ver. 
  6. Cámaras de fotos sumergibles, claro.

Excellent school that really focuses on the community element for the students. Teachers get involved in the activities, which is a cool sight to see, as you can get to know them outside the classroom. The lessons are well done also, as each teacher brings a different style. I also love the format of the schedule, in that, the time of classes swaps daily, and so does your teacher. Keeps things fresh. Lastly, Stefano is an EXCELLENT activity coordinator! He really enjoys being around the students and is professional.

I spent a fantastic week at Taronja in May 2019. The booking process was really straightforward (and I appreciated being able to sort out my accommodation through the school too) albeit a little embarrassing when recording a video of myself to have my level assessed 🙈. The booking information I received indicated that someone would be there to greet me at the accommodation upon arrival, but this wasn't the case – I didn't mind though because I'm a grown up and don't really need looking out for like that. The teachers and supporting staff were really friendly and helpful. The classes were challenging and taught entirely in Spanish, which I think is really beneficial and, for the level I was at (~B1), falling back to English shouldn't really be necessary. In the week I was there we alternated between days studying grammar (the present subjunctive) and more 'relaxing' days where we dived deeper into other topics such as ser/estar and por/para (though I would have been happier doing even more grammar studies, but maybe I'm just a glutton for punishment). I think what really stood out about my week at Taronja was the effort put into the social activities. There were things to do every evening and a weekend excursion had been organized too (but unfortunately I had to fly home that day and couldn't attend), so even if you arrive as a solo learner/traveller, you'll be able to find people to hang out with fairly quickly. In case it isn't clear, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend studying at Taronja, however I feel that attending for 1 week simply wasn't enough. Many of the people I met were staying for any amount of time from 3 weeks to 3 months. It's for this reason that I intend to return to Taronja next month for 2 weeks to try and really press on with improving my Spanish (and escape the miserable Dutch summer).

I took classes at Taronja for three weeks in October and can highly recommend the school. I cannot imagine there being a better school. I scouted for months before making the decision and was so glad I had chosen Taronja. There are several points which make it such a good school. - the highly motivated and friendly teachers - there effort at getting everyone to speak Spanish only, which of course speeds up your acqusition of the language - the extracurricular activities are not only interesting, but help increase your language skills and keep you busy (if you are alone, it's nice to have something to keep you active especially the first week when you don't know your way around yet) I will definitely take more classes here. I recommend saving yourself all the time needed for researching the internet. You have made the right decision with Taronja! My greetings to everyone there. Linda

I learned a lot, had a great amount of fun and gained new friends during my two weeks in Taronja. The school offers a lot of fun activities which I would recommend anyone to participate in. The personnel are very helpful with any questions you might have. The teachers I had were great. It was learning based on a lot of interactions and dialogs as it should be. I will definitely come back for more studies and adventures with Taronja.

Nothing but positive things to say about Taronja I've spent 3 weeks at Taronja and i have nothing but positive things to say about the school. All of the lessons are really engaging and the staff incredibly helpful, friendly and patient (vital when trying to teach me a foreign language!). I'm in my mid 40's and what i particularly like is how well the school is geared up for students of all ages. Cracking stuff all round.
