S2, Ep : 97. Castellers, human castles in Catalonia.

Hello, hello, and welcome back to Spanish Loops! Your weekly journey into the heart of Spain’s living culture! And this week we’re going high… literally!

 Today, we are heading to Catalonia to explore one of the most breath taking, gravity defying traditions in all of Spain: Los Castellers.

These human towers, real people climbing on top of each other up to ten stories high, have been rising into the skies of Catalonia for over two centuries.

And believe us, they are so much more than just a show.

We will dig into the history of this daring practice, tracing it all the way back to the 18th century. We'll talk about the colles castelleres, the passionate local teams who train year around, the deep sense of community and trust, and of course what it feels like to be at the top of a human tower with thousandscheering you on.

That is why the Castellers have become a UNESCO recognized tradition, and why, even today, these towers symbolize unity, strength, and balance in every sense of the word.

So, buckle up, stay grounded, and get ready to look up… way up. This is Spanish Loops, and we are climbing into Catalonia’s cultural heartbeat… one tier at a time.
