Hundreds Of People Made An Incredible Human Pyramid In Spain

    No one sneeze!

    This gigantic pile of people is known as a 'Castell'.

    It's part of a tradition that dates back to the 18th Century in Catalonia, Spain.

    Up to 500 men and women compete to create a huge human tower, which can reach ten levels high.

    The teams build their towers with the strongest participants at the base, and the lightest at the top.

    28-year-old photographer David Oliete snapped these impressive images in his home city of Tarragona.

    The Human Tower Competition, called the ‘Concurs de Castells’, attracts more than 20,000 people, who watch hundreds of people create the structures.

    David said: “The atmosphere at the Concurs was amazing. As usual it gets really crowded but that fact makes it stunning at the same time.”

    "The 'Castells' are also one of the most important cultural traditions in Catalonia for more than 200 years. 'Strength, balance, courage and common sense' has become their motto."

    The next Human Tower Competition takes place Oct 2014.
