The “castells” are also one of the most important cultural traditions in Catalonia for more than 200 years. “Strength, balance, courage and common sense” has become their motto.

In 2010, the “castells” were declared by UNESCO to be amongst the Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity.

I absolutely recommend to any photographer (and to anyone else of course) to enjoy a live Castells festival in Tarragona or in any other city in Catalunya. You will not only know better what the Catalan identity means, but you will be part of an experience you will never forget.
