(Castells (Catalan for castles) - a tradition which originated at the end of the 18th century in Valls, Tarragona, when rival groups of people called "colles", began to compete in constructing human towers. Those who take part in these tours are called castellers (castle-makers), fearless men and women who wear traditional Catalan costume and climb on to each others shoulders to create a human pyramid, sometimes up to eight or nine storeys high and often topped off with a brave child, a bit like a cherry on a cake!)
