Ok-I love to visit Spain. Have you been? Is it on your bucket list? Maybe you’re ready to ‘mess’ with Spain's craziest festival! 🍅

If you're looking for a truly wild cultural experience, mark your calendars for this year's La Tomatina festival, which will be held on August 28th in the tiny town of Buñol near Valencia.

This is one of the world's most famous and outrageous food fights!

La Tomatina has an origin story that dates back to 1945 when a group of mischievous youngsters sparked a spontaneous tomato fight during a local parade. What started as a playful act of rebellion has evolved into a global phenomenon, attracting thousands of enthusiastic participants from all corners of the world each year.

The main event is the legendary tomato fight, where over 100 metric tons* of over-ripe tomatoes are thrown in one glorious hour of red pulpy pandemonium! Before the fight, there's a hilarious scene of people frantically trying to knock down a ham suspended at the top of a greasy pole.

Once the mayhem begins at 11:00 a.m., the streets run rivers of red (TOMATO!) as the world's biggest food fight erupts! After an hour, the fire department hoses everything down, leaving Buñol's streets freshly cleaned by tomato juice.

But La Tomatina is more than just an epic tomato battle. The run-up features lively parades, music, food stalls, and celebrations showcasing the rich local culture. Be sure to fuel up on classic Spanish tapas like patatas bravas, croquetas, and piping hot paellas from Valencia's exceptional rice-growing region.

With its zany traditions and top-notch cuisine and wine, La Tomatina offers an unforgettable taste of Spanish culture and one amazingly messy day!

Who's ready to take on this bucket list festival experience?

Are you ready to experience the chaos? Or should your visit to Spain focus on the history and culture of Granada (YES!) or Gaudi’s art in Barcelona? Maybe you’d like to check out the locations of some of Clint Eastwood’s spaghetti westerns from the 1970s? (Lots of them were filmed in the Almeria region of southeastern Spain).

Wherever your Spanish daydreams take you-we are ready to help make them a reality!

This week we’re excited to take you on a global journey through some of the most captivating festivals around the world. Festivals are a wonderful way for travelers to experience the unique traditions, vibrant cultures, and rich histories of different places.

They offer a chance to see a destination in its most lively and colorful state, participate in local customs, and connect with people in a meaningful way.

From the dazzling lights of Diwali in India to the spirited parades of Carnival in Brazil, each festival provides a special glimpse into the heart and soul of its culture, making travel an even more enriching and unforgettable experience.

Today, we’re beginning with Diwali, the Indian Festival of Lights, which is a truly magical experience. Diwali typically falls between mid-October and mid-November, but the exact date changes each year based on the Hindu lunar calendar. In 2024, Diwali will be celebrated on November 1st.

This vibrant festival is celebrated across the country, and marks the triumph of light over darkness and good over evil.

To make the most of your Diwali trip to India, start by visiting some of the most iconic destinations.

Varanasi, known for its spiritual significance, comes alive during Diwali with thousands of diyas (oil lamps) floating on the Ganges River. The city's ghats and temples are adorned with lights and decorations, creating a mesmerizing atmosphere.

In Jaipur, the Pink City, grand illuminations and stunning displays light up the skyline, with a breathtaking view from Nahargarh Fort.

Delhi, the capital city, hosts numerous Diwali fairs and markets, and the vibrant streets of Chandni Chowk offer a unique festive experience, complemented by a spectacular fireworks display at India Gate.

In Amritsar, Diwali coincides with the Sikh festival of Bandi Chhor Divas, and the Golden Temple is beautifully lit, with the lights reflecting in the sacred lake, creating a magical sight.

Kolkata celebrates Diwali alongside Kali Puja, with the city's temples and homes decorated in intricate patterns and lights.

During Diwali, streets and homes are decorated with colorful rangoli (patterns made with colored powders) and diyas, creating a festive and welcoming environment.

The sky lights up with spectacular fireworks displays, and major cities and towns host organized fireworks shows that are a must-see. Traditional dances and music performances, such as Garba and Dandiya in Gujarat, and classical music recitals in various parts of the country, add to the festive atmosphere.

Diwali signifies the return of Lord Rama to Ayodhya after 14 years of exile and his victory over the demon king Ravana. It also celebrates the goddess Lakshmi, the deity of wealth and prosperity. Families clean and decorate their homes to welcome Lakshmi and perform rituals to seek her blessings.

Food is an integral part of Diwali celebrations, with traditional sweets like laddu (a popular sweet), jalebis (a fried sweet pastry), barfis (a fudge-like sweet made with condensed milk, sugar, fruits, and nuts), and gulab jamuns (deep-fried dough balls soaked in sugar syrup) are all popular treats. Savory snacks such as samosas, kachoris, and chaklis are also enjoyed, and festive meals often include a variety of dishes, from rich curries to aromatic rice and bread.

Many families open their homes to guests, offering sweets and sharing their festive customs. Visitors are warmly welcomed into the celebrations, whether in local homes, community gatherings, or public events.

To make the most of your Diwali experience, plan ahead, as it is a busy travel season in India. We can assist by booking your accommodations and transport well in advance. You’ll enjoy participating in the customs and learning about the vibrant culture, history, and cuisine of India.

Ready to plan a visit to India for Diwali? We're ready when you are! We’re here to help you make the most of this magical festival. From booking accommodations and arranging guided tours, to providing helpful travel tips, we’ll ensure your Diwali experience is unforgettable.

Let us handle the details so you can immerse yourself in the vibrant celebrations and create lasting memories. Contact us today to start planning your Diwali adventure!

Traveling this summer? We certainly hope so!

Today, we’re sharing some great travel tips. Here are some practical ideas for keeping your money and valuables safe while you travel.

First, always stay alert, especially in crowded places like metros and popular tourist destinations where pickpockets often target distracted tourists.

And ok, so it’s not the most fashionable choice, but it’s a practical one! Consider using a money belt worn under your clothes to keep cash, cards, and your passport close and out of sight, giving you peace of mind.

It's smart to divide and conquer by splitting your money and cards between different bags and pockets, so if one gets lost or stolen, you still have a backup.

Be especially careful on travel days when you're in airports, train stations, or hotel lobbies, as these busy places can be distracting.

To reduce risk and avoid making yourself an easy target, take responsibility for your personal items. Only carry what you need for the day. And don’t wear flashy jewelry or expensive-looking items.

Always be cautious with your phone, too. Phone ‘leashes’ have become popular—consider whether this travel tool would work for you.

Also consider using a theft-proof bag with anti-theft features like slash-proof straps and lockable zippers.

Don't skip travel insurance—it's a small investment for peace of mind if something goes wrong.

Know where you might be most vulnerable, such as crowded tourist spots, and use hotel safes to store extra cash, important documents, and electronics when you don't need them.

Finally, keep copies of important documents like your passport, ID, and travel insurance, both digitally and on paper.

Travel smart, stay safe, and enjoy your journey!

The Seine River is Paris's lifeblood, winding through its heart and serving as a backdrop to its most iconic landmarks. Its banks have inspired artists, writers, and lovers for centuries, contributing to the city's romantic allure.

Historically, the Seine has been a vital waterway for trade and travel, shaping the development of Paris. Today, it remains a cherished symbol of the city's beauty and culture, where Parisians gather to stroll, relax, and celebrate life.

Now Paris is gearing up for the 2024 Olympics with a major cleanup of the Seine River! This ambitious project aims to improve water quality through infrastructure upgrades, better stormwater management, and continuous water monitoring. Mayor Anne Hidalgo and President Macron have even vowed to swim in the Seine to prove its cleanliness!

While some Parisians are skeptical and concerned about disruptions, many see the long-term benefits of a healthier river. The success of this project depends on sustained efforts, government commitment, and public support.

As the city works hard to achieve this goal, there's cautious optimism that the Seine will be ready for Olympic athletes to swim in by 2024.

The Seine will host key events like the triathlon and marathon swimming, adding a unique touch to the Games. Stay tuned as Paris transforms the Seine into a symbol of a cleaner, greener future.

Are you looking forward to your summer vacation yet? If you're gearing up for international travel this year, make sure your passport doesn't trip you up!

First things first, avoid the last-minute rush by applying for or renewing your passport well in advance. Processing times can stretch out, and you don't want to be stuck paying for expedited service.

Check your passport for any signs of damage, like rips or water stains. These could mean your old one won’t be cleared for travel, and you might need a new one now!

It's also important to verify the validity requirements for your destination—many countries require that your passport be valid for at least six months beyond the dates of your trip.

And while you're at it, make sure there are enough blank pages for new stamps; some countries are strict about this.

Remember, your passport isn’t always the only travel document you'll need; some places require visas or additional paperwork.

Lastly, a quick tip: always keep your passport in your carry-on bag or on your person, not in your checked luggage, to avoid losing it. Keeping these points in mind will help ensure your journey is smooth and stress-free.

The Olympic flame has officially arrived in France! The handover to French organizers took place at the historic port of Marseilles yesterday, signaling the start of the torch relay for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.

With its rich history in arts and culture, Paris is poised to host the 2024 Olympics. Having been the backdrop for the revival of the Games in 1896, the city’s iconic landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, and Champs-Élysées are set to create a picturesque stage for the events. And several MMT families will be there to enjoy the games!

The tradition of the Olympic flame, a symbol of peace and unity, dates back over 2,500 years to the ancient Greek Olympics in Olympia. A fire was continuously maintained throughout the games to honor the Greek gods. The modern torch relay, which began with the 1936 Berlin Games, carries forward this rich legacy, symbolizing the enduring spirit of the Olympics.

🔥 Starting today, the torch will traverse over 64 territories through iconic locations like Mont Saint-Michel, the D-Day beaches, and the Palace of Versailles. With more than 10,000 individual torchbearers and an additional 3,000 participants in team relays, this 68-day relay is a spectacular showcase of French heritage and unity. The journey culminates with the flame's arrival in Paris on July 26, 2024, just in time for the opening ceremonies.

The flame's arrival marks the final countdown to the Paris 2024 Olympics, scheduled from July 26 to August 11. It will be a grand celebration of athletic prowess and international camaraderie.

Here’s some news fresh from the MMT Travel Desk!

Starting tomorrow, April 25, 2024, Venice is implementing a €5 entry fee for day-trippers, part of an innovative strategy to manage the over 30 million tourists that visit each year.

This measure aims to mitigate over-tourism, a significant challenge for Venice, preserve its architectural and cultural heritage, and enhance the quality of life for its residents.

The fee applies on select days during peak seasons, primarily weekends and other high-traffic periods until mid-July.

It's designed to encourage visitors to consider less crowded times for their visits, improving the overall experience and reducing the strain on local infrastructure.

Visitors will need to book their entry online in advance, receive a QR code as proof of payment, and check it at various city access points.

There are exemptions for residents, students, workers, and overnight guests in local hotels, who won't need to pay this fee but will still need to show proof of accommodation.

The revenue generated will not only help regulate visitor numbers but also fund maintenance and public services, ensuring Venice remains vibrant and accessible.

This initiative follows extensive planning and aims to balance the need for tourist revenue with sustainable city management.

Visitors should consult the official Venice tourism portals for more details on booking and the fee schedule.

Here’s how it works: to pay the Venice tourist entry fee, visitors must book their access online in advance. The fee can be paid through the official Venice tourism portal, Venezia Unica. Visit the website: Go to the Venezia Unica website at cda.veneziaunica.it.

Book Your Ticket: Choose the day you plan to visit and enter your details.

Make Payment: Pay the €5 fee using the online payment options provided.

Receive Your QR Code: After payment, you'll receive a QR code, which serves as your entry pass.

This QR code is essential, as it will be checked at various access points around the city. Make sure to have it ready, either on your smartphone or as a printout, to ensure smooth entry and avoid any penalties.
