La Tomatina VR Experience
For those who cannot travel to the event, there is a virtual reality game 'La Tomatina VR Experience', with the support of an Oculus Quest viewer. Participants have to throw and dodge tomatoes, as well as the typical elements such as throwing water from the balconies, the trucks, the music, the singing and the hustle and bustle.
