Incredible Human Towers

The Castellers de Vilafranca is a cultural and sporting association whose main objective is to build castells (human towers). It has the status of a public-interest association. Every summer in Catalonia, Spain, teams of "Castellers" can be seen competing against each other to see who can build the highest human tower. Every catalan town has their own team or "Colla" made up of men, woman and children. Taking directions from a "Cap de colla" (Captain of the Colla), the Castellers form a solid foundation of packed bodies, linking arms and hands together in an intricate way that will carry the weight of several tones.
