Binissalem stages its annual grape battle

They say, in Binissalem at any rate, that the grape battle during the Vermar fiestas has been copied by all other battles, including Buñol's "Tomatina" (in Valencia). This is not a claim that really stands up, but as far as battles in Majorca are concerned, it does. They've had a grape battle for 27 years: longer, for example, than the Vilafranca melon fight.
