      Una aventura en La Tomatina

      An adventure in La Tomatina

      Me llamo Sean y tengo 21 años.

      My name is Sean and I’m 21 years old.

      Soy de Nueva York, pero vivo en Barcelona, España, desde hace seis meses.

      Estoy estudiando Literatura Castellana y tengo mucha suerte de poder disfrutar de esta experiencia en España.

      Pero a veces… me pasan cosas locas y divertidas como la que hoy os voy a explicar.

      But sometimes… crazy and funny things happen, like the one that I’m going to explain to you today.

      Llegué a España en marzo y me puse a vivir con unos chicos y chicas muy simpáticos, compartiendo con ellos un piso precioso en el centro de la ciudad.

      I arrived to Spain in March, and I started to live with some very friendly boys and girls, sharing with them a beautiful apartment in the city center.

      Es una de las ciudades más grandes de España, y se encuentra en la zona noreste del país.

      It’s one of the biggest cities in Spain and is located in the Northeast of the country.

      Es una ciudad que vive pegada al mar, por lo tanto tiene lo mejor de una gran ciudad (discotecas, grandes universidades, tiendas para ir de compras, restaurantes, museos…), pero también lo mejor de estar cerca de la playa en España (buen tiempo, el mar, cientos de playas preciosas…).

      It is a city next to the sea, therefore it has the best of a big city (discos, big universities, shops to go shopping, restaurants, museums), but also the best from being close to the beach in Spain (nice weather, the sea, hundreds of beautiful beaches).

      Además, Barcelona está rodeada de montañas por todas partes y está muy cerca de los Pirineos, las montañas más altas de España donde puedes esquiar durante todo el invierno y parte de la primavera.

      In addition, Barcelona is surrounded by mountains on all sides and it’s very close to the Pyrenees, the highest mountains in Spain, where you can ski during the Winter and part of the spring.

      Es un lugar para quedarse, ¿no os parece?

      It is a place to stay, don’t you think?

      La primavera pasó rápidamente en Barcelona.

      En España, el curso termina en el mes de junio.

      In Spain, the semester finishes in June.

      ¡Había aprobado todas mis asignaturas con muy buenas notas!

      I passed all my subjects with very good grades.

      Ahora, tenía todo el verano por delante, lleno de planes, al lado de la playa y con muchos amigos para pasármelo bien.

      Now, I had all the whole summer in front of me, full of plans, next to the beach and with many friends to enjoy it.

      Además, en España en verano en todos los pueblos hay fiestas tradicionales y populares de las que siempre había oído hablar, aunque muchas eran muy raras y no las entendía muy bien…

      Furthermore, in Spain, during the summer, in every village there are traditional and popular parties that I have heard of, but many of them were very strange to me and I didn’t understand them very well.

      Mi amigo José me llamó un día de julio y me invitó a ir a una fiesta en un pueblo de Valencia que se iba a celebrar en agosto.

      My friend José called me one day in July and invited me to go to a party in a village in Valencia that was going to be held in Augusto.

      Dijo que era seguramente la mejor fiesta en la que seguramente habría estado en mi vida, y que no podía faltar.

      He said that it is surely the biggest party that I have ever been to in my life and that I couldn’t miss it.

      Yo le pregunté: ¿por qué esa fiesta es tan espectacular?

      I asked him: Why is this party so spectacular?

      Y él… ¡no me dijo nada! Dijo que quería que fuera una sorpresa para mí, que sólo me iba a decir el nombre de la fiesta.

      And he…didn’t tell me a word! He said that it wanted it to be a surprise for me, that he will only give me the name of the party.

      La fiesta se llamaba… La tomatina.

      The party was called… the tomatina.

      Por supuesto que que había muchas  páginas de internet y sitios donde yo habría podido buscar información sobre la misteriosa tomatina, pero mi amigo me hizo prometerle que no buscaría nada.

      Of course, nowadays there are many websites and places where I could search for information about the mysterious la tomatina, but my friend made me promise him that I would not search for anything.

      José compró dos billetes de autobús y los trajo a casa.

      José bought two bus tickets and brought them home.

      Así fue como me enteré de que el pueblo al que íbamos a ir de fiesta se llamaba Buñol.

      That is how I learned that the village where we were going to go to the party was called ‘Buñol’.

      ¡Por fin sabía algo más sobre la misteriosa fiesta de verano a la que iba a ir!

      Finally I knew something more about the mysterious summer party to which I was going to go!

      Buñol era, sin embargo, un pueblo muy pequeño en medio de la provincia de Valencia.

      Buñol was, however, a very small village in the middle of Valencia.

      ¿Qué tipo de gran fiesta se podría hacer en un lugar tan pequeño? Seguía el misterio.

      What kind of big party could take place in a place that little? The mystery continued.

      Una semana antes de la fiesta, Sara, mi compañera de piso, me había explicado lo que significaba tomatina.

      One week before the party, Sara, my room-mate, explained to me what tomatina means.

      Tomatina era algo así como tomate pequeño. ¿Qué era entonces la fiesta?

      Tomatina was something like little tomato.
