  1. Concurs de Castells, Spain Concurs de Castells is a human tower competition that is held every year during October in Tarragona, Spain. This artistic sport dates back to the 18th century and to be more precise towards the end of it. It is the ultimate display of unity and teamwork and the team consists of people from the age group of 5-95. This is definitely a bigger umbrella and the challenge in accommodating the higher and lower ends of it and is the true challenge of this teamwork display. Dress is another important element of the event, all the people participating in the event wear a beautiful and bright color dress as a uniform. The bright color is also because it reflects the bright and splendid spirits of the people.
