Castles Made of People: The Amazing Tradition of Catalonia!
pinnacle: the highest point or top of something
Did you know there are castles made of people? Yes, you read it right! In Catalonia, a tradition of building human towers called ‘Castells’ has been alive since the 18th century!
One brave young participant shares, “If you look down, you might get scared. That’s why they say never to look down.”
Every two years, over 60 teams compete to build the tallest tower. With hundreds of members, some towers reach 15 meters!
But it’s not all fun and games! It’s a risky sport, especially for those at the top. Often, young children wearing helmets are at the pinnacle. Broken arms and hospital trips are common.
