Yes, the Tomatina sounds much more fun. In fact there are various festivities in Spain where people throw things at each other:
Buñol (Valencia) - Tomatina - People throw tomatoes
Haro (La Rioja) - Batalla del vino - Obviously wine is thrown around.
Villagarcía de Arousa (Pontevedra) - Fiesta del Agua - Even the local fire brigade gets involved with their hoses.
Vallecas (Madrid) - Batalla del Agua
I've only been to one (Fiesta del Agua in Vilagarcía) and it was great fun.
