Castellers in Lloret

For the first time ever I got chance to see the Castellers yesterday, they were in Lloret taking part in the Independence rally outside the Town Hall. Those who take part in building the human towers wear a special kind of clothing usually consisting of white trousers and a coloured shirt representing the team and region they are from. Around their middle they have a wide tightly bound sash this is to help those climbing up to gain a better grip and it also gives extra support to their backs.
Castellers is a Catalan tradition and can often be seen at events in towns and villages, but for the people in Lloret this weekend however we didnt have to travel too far to see this amazing event!
