这些令人难以置信的照片显示,数千人参加了西班牙的一项传统比赛,他们竞争叠起最高的“人塔”。
The Concurs de Castells is a biennial event held in Tarragona, north-east Spain, that sees teams of up to 500 people form impressive towers, known as castells, that are up to 10 tiers high.
“人塔”是西班牙东北部塔拉戈纳两年一届的活动,达500人的队伍叠成名为“城堡”的给人印象深刻的人塔,达10层高。
The tradition dates back to the 18th century in the Catalonia region and is believed to originate from the human towers built by dance groups.
