THE CASTELLS.

One of the most typical aspects of the city are the castells (human towers), a tradition that comes within the context of popular expressions. Valls is the cradle of the casteller, and currently has two groups known in Catalan as “colles de xiquets”: the Colla Joves (youth gang) and the Colla Vella (old folks gang), which compete to achieve the best towers.
