Amazing photos from the 24th Tarragona Castells Competition.

'Castellers' compete with other groups known as 'colles' to build the highest and most intricate human towers.

The spectacle, which honors an 18th century Catalan tradition, was added to the UNESCO list of masterpieces of the oral and intangible heritage of humanity in 2010.
