The castellers compete for who can build the highest human castle (castell); a pyramid of seven or sometimes nine people high, with always three or four men at one level. The castle is finished when a child reaches the top, climbing like a monkey. This energetic tradition started in the south of Catalonia, in the area around Tarragona, and is nowadays practiced throughout Spain.
