Rehearsal for festa major. Video shared by Món Casteller.

In Tarragona (Catalonia), there is the tradition that on the day after festa major (traditional Catalan holiday celebrated in each town or city on their patron saint's day), which in Tarragona is celebrated on September 24th, the four castellers groups of the city go up and down the stairs in front of the city's cathedral doing a pilar and continue walking the pilar through the down-hill street until they cross all the Font square near it. The whole process is about 500 meters and takes each group an average of 10 to 15 minutes to do.

Castellers are the Catalan tradition of doing "human towers", which can have many people on each layer or floor. A pilar is when the "tower" only has one person on each floor, like you can see in the video. In this video, you can see the group Colla Castellera de Sant Pere i Sant Pau practising going down the stairs in front of the Cathedral.

Human shelter in an olive grove, Tarragona, Catalunya, Spain,

This is the first in a network of shelters in a protected area of olive groves. To avoid being detected, we have developed several camouflage strategies.

The walls are coloured with a mixture of lime, water and earth, and the openings are covered with metal sheets that imitate stone prints. The main chamber, just over 9 by 30 feet, expands through a series of underground galleries that serve as water, food, energy and waste storage.

Every two years, all the colles (local groups) who do castells (Catalan tradition of doing "human castles") meet in the city of Tarragona to hold the national castellers competition. It's held on the first weekend of October of even years.

This competition is followed like a sports event, with the stadium full of public and aired live on Catalonia's national TV and narrated with as much enthusiasm as a football match.
