This picture sums it up pretty well. La Tomitana was out of this world. I seriously recommend making your way to Bunol, Spain next year and attending it. Well, if you like the idea of being in a crowded town with hundreds of people moving in all directions, pushing you, with only your upper-body strength protecting you from suffocation.
It was like those pantings of purgatory from ancient Rome - the sea of bodies grabbing at the boats that cross the river. I loved every minute of it.
Too bad I missed the ham-grabbing. Oh well, I’m sure I’ll find it on YouTube.
I’m thinking Spain is too cool to miss. Do you think I should spend a bit more time here before heading to Italy? The trip’s not done until the end of October, so there’s certainly time to do this and everything thing else. But of course, it’s up to you.

Do the Madrid Pub Crawl Dinner: Tapas! http://www.ricksteves.com/plan/destinations/spain/tapas0008.htm Sounds like fun.
Definitely stick around Spain a little longer. You don’t want to give us whiplash by zipping off to Italy so soon. Italy is really awesome though!
If you go to Madrid, MAD Hostel is the place to stay. It was only like 18 euros per night, with a really fun atmosphere.
Don’t forget the Sunday market at El Rastro – The Rastro Market. It is the biggest and most famous Spanish street market and is held every Sunday. But it’s not just a fascinating street market - it’s the tapas bars and general atmosphere of the district that make it a must. But - be careful!! – it’s a favourite place with pickpockets!!
Sorry — El Rastro is in Madrid as well!
I went to a cool market Yesterday. They sold all sorts of interesting stuff, like bugs
