This year it was the team from Vilafranca that took home the prize pool of 16,000 euros, which corresponds to approximately 176,000 Swedish kronor.
The towers are called "castells" and are built by the participants standing on each other's shoulders.

On the contrary, it is not possible to carry out the sport without the very smallest:
-
You can't play football without a goalkeeper because of the rules, that's exactly how it is here too, we can't make the human towers without two children, says Anna Jordana who is a sports psychologist and coach of the children's squad for the team Ceballuts.
