On last august 30th, in our local festivities in Vilafranca del Penedès (a little village near Barcelona), the Castellers de Vilafranca (check http://www.castellersdevilafranca.com/) have been able to complete a human tower of TEN floors, among other extremely difficult constructions.
As a member of the Vilafranca group and also a member of the TEN club, it was twice special for me and I felt I should share it here.
