We celebrate a huge festival in July, with lots of different events every day. Today I've gone to watch the "muixeranges". A muixeranga is one of these human towers. At first, they were only formed during religious celebrations, as a means to try and touch the sky, The little kid on top of each tower is called "angelet" (little angel) as they were highest thus closest to God. Nowadays, they are non-religious and they get made in different festivities (as today), although they are also made to celebrate some religious festivities.
@boxplayer@jgpittenger@tonygig@bkbinthecity@merrelyn@mittens Thanks a lot -it's truly fascinating to watch. Sometimes, they even walk along the street once the tower is formed - they have incredible strength and skill! As you can see from the clothes, there are people form two different groups here, they all know what to do and have no problem working together as only one team.
