In pictures: Tarragona’s death-defying human tower competition returns
Tarragona’s iconic biennial competition saw more than 40 teams defy gravity to build giant human towers, as part of a longstanding Catalonian tradition.
Emotions were high as the heart-pounding tradition of building human towers made a return to Tarragona, Spain, where thousands of spellbound spectators gathered for the city’s biennial competition.

Jaw-dropping photos capture the sea of people watching on as hundreds of brave participants rose higher and higher in their ‘castells’.
