The Castellers Of Vilafranca

Last Sunday I posted about the Human Towers Of The Castellers. Today Presurfer reader Enriquerl sent me this video of the Vilafranca Castellers.

The last person to climb the whole tower or castle is the anxaneta, a young girl or boy who, on arriving at the very summit raises his/her arm and salutes the public. This is the highlight of the event as the castell is considered to be crowned. But in fact the job is only half done. The structure still has to be brought down safely.
