Castellers de Vilafranca
Groups of people make a tower as tall as possible. They do this because of an old rivalry of which castle was taller. They start with a strong base and get thinner and thinner. Eventually it ends when a boy usually 10-12 years old stands on the top and waves to the crowd. Falls, collapses, and injuries are common but if it all goes together the tower could reach 9 stories high.
