About this event
A walking pilar sets off from Plaça del Sol and threads through the decorated streets to Plaça de la Vila, where the Castellers de la Vila de Gràcia raise full human towers in front of the town hall. It is the most photogenic half hour of the whole festival and one of the few chances to see castells built at night, in a square small enough to feel the crowd hold its breath.
Why we picked it
Human towers at night in a packed neighbourhood square, midweek and entirely open access - a strong Wednesday pick.
