constructions has became the whole population expression. In these structure
we can find people from 5 or 6 years old to the eldest ones since in order
to achieve the success we need the all people participation, this one of
the "castellers" and public also. The public helps to give pressure around
the "pinya" (people who maintain stable the construction's structure and
reduce the risk in case of downfall.

People's
groups doing these constructions get the name of the city where they are
living in and you can identificate them by their shirt's colour and constructions'
variety.

We
define every construction depending on the amount of persons placed on
every floor and its height. The aim is always the same: "enxaneta" has
to greet from the highest part of the castle. At this moment the construction
is considered valid; afterwards the structure is dismounted floor by floor.
