Human Towers

By far one of the coolest things I have ever seen in my life are castells, or human towers. It’s a tradition in the Catalonia region of Spain. Groups, or collas, come together and build these gigantic human towers with a base, or pinya (literally pineapple), the climbers to form the middle layers, and small children that climb to the top. Yes, SMALL CHILDREN. Like under five years old. In Tarragona, there are two collas: Xiquets and Jove.
