Today there was a parade in honor of Santa Eulalia in Barcelona. The parade ended in Placa Sant Jaume where there was the dancing of the giants. Each town in Catalonia has two giants that represent the town. In the Placa, the pair of giants from many of the towns did a typical dance in the center.
After the parade, six different teams of Castallers came out to build the human towers. It is a Catalan tradition that involves every age group. The people involved have a lot of pride in what they are doing.
