About this event
Human-tower building is UNESCO-listed, and this is one of the best free places to watch it. Xiquets de Reus join the home team, Castellers de la Vila de Gràcia, to raise multi-storey towers in a packed square, with the youngest climber scrambling to the top to raise a hand before the whole structure unwinds. Arrive early for a clear view.
Why we picked it
