The story
Tarragona Human Tower Contest in Tarragona
Tarragona hosts the Concurs de Castells every two years in a converted bullring, the most prestigious competition in Catalonia's human-tower tradition, where dedicated colles castelleres teams build towers up to nine or ten levels topped by a child climber, judged for height and structural complexity in what functions as the discipline's de facto championship.
Tarragona's Concurs de Castells is the most prestigious competition within the Catalan human-tower tradition, held every two years in a bullring converted for the occasion, where the region's top colles castelleres, dedicated human-tower teams, compete to build the tallest and most structurally complex formations without a net or safety harness beneath the top climbers.
