In Catalonia, they love building castles.
Human ones.
This is particularly popular at festival time. Go to any Catalonian town’s festival amd there’ll be a passionately fought competition between the local towns’ castellers. And yes, they do fall; that’s why the children that climb to the top wear helmets.

We’re probably moving to Barcelona soon, so I’ll be sure to look for ‘human castles.’ Good stuff.

I’m envious! I look forward to hearing about life there. These photos were taken in Vilafranca del Penedes.
