Hundreds form human tower as part of the Catalan tradition

It’s fascinating to watch the formation of this human tower. According to Wikipedia:

The Castellers de Vilafranca (Catalan pronunciation: [kəstəˈʎez ðə βiɫəˈfɾaŋkə]) is a cultural and sporting association whose main objective is to build castells (human towers). It has the status of a public-interest association. The group was founded in 1948^[1] in response to the increased interest in human tower building in Vilafranca del Penedès, a Catalan tradition that has evolved since the 18th century^[2][3] Ball de Valencians, a dance from Valencia.

Nowadays, the Castellers de Vilafranca have about 400 active human tower building members of all ages,^[4] with no discrimination on the grounds of race, religion, sex or social status. They share the common goal of building human towers, democratic values, cooperation and teamwork, a constant desire to surpass themselves, and a will to maintain a lead over a select and competitive group of rival human tower associations. The group’s headquarters is Cal Figarot, Casa Via Raventós, a house located in downtown Vilafranca del Penedès and specially adapted for human tower building activity (for example, high, indoor ceilings for winter use and an open-air courtyard for spring, summer and fall).

When you see the little children climbing like monkeys, your heart skips a beat, but then you realize, “they’ve got this.”
