Spanish human castles…wait for it! (Video)


In the city of Tarragona, Spain, castellers gather every two years to see who can build the highest, most intricate human castles. It requires astonishing strength, finesse, and balls. There are obviously no lawyers in Spain. Worth the wait till 1:40.

    It is a Catalan tradition and the rate of injuries is very low. One can join it very easily.

    I'm spanish, and the green-dressed ones are from my town. I know a lot of people involved with these castles since they were kids, and all of them are still alive. For a kid who likes that, being the "anxeneta" (the kid on the top of the castle) is the greatest honor he could have. It's amazing to see it live, I recomend it to you if you ever have the chance!

    They do the same thing in French towns at the border of Spain, where the cultures bleed together. I saw a smaller one done in a town square, where the floor below was a cobbles. That would have hurt in a fall

    I think you need to edit the description from "There are obviously no lawyers in Spain." to "luckily there are no American lawyers in Spain."
