posted in: Spain, legacies | 0

The Capgrossos of Mataro are prepared for a long time, taking great care and all security measures, for “build” its famous Castells. They are multi-level Human Torres. Each level is made up of a circle of people, below the strongest and above the thinnest and the top sole reample a child, which, After climbing through their companions, level after level, It does not remain at the summit for more than a couple of seconds, enough to raise your arm, go down quickly and thus end the tower.

Wonder see them “cosntrurte”, climbing each other's back. Many of the people in the place who approach to enjoy the party and the show, They also end up collaborating, Putting the shoulder to hold those who make this human structure and who are the ones who do most of the force. A great show that I have had the possibility of enjoying a noon, Without having planned it, In a Plaza de Mataró.
