Catellers de Barcelona

Today Ian and I went to Placa Sant Jaume I to watch the Castellers de Barcelona. I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but I knew that it was part of a local festival. Montserrat, our senora, told us it was a sign of Catalan pride and strength. They assembled 4 different families who would each take their turn building human towers from the ground up. Some had people climbing up others to the top whereas one team kept hoisting people up from the bottom one level at a time. Pretty awesome!
