Human Towers in Catalonia

Human towers have been one of the most important cultural traditions in the region of Catalonia, in Spain, for more than 200 years and have become part of the identity of Catalan people. “Strength, balance, courage and common sense” is their motto. One of the biggest human tower competitions in the world is named "Concurs de Castells” and takes place only once every two years in the city of Tarragona with the participation of teams from all around the region. Each team builds its own human towers, which are between six and ten levels high. For their success, a crowded and stunning base of hundreds of people needs to be previously perfectly set up.
