Tarragona
Salou is a suburb of Tarragona. AlteCocker went there 3 times. The first time was as part of a tour that included the "castels" or "human towers". The other two times, having learned the lay of the land, AlteCocker simply took the bus. On one day there was a holiday called Sant Magi. There were many demonstrations of the human towers and, due to the inadvertent wearing of a shirt that made me look as if she were part of one of the teams, she got right in the thick of it with some good photos. The photos of the castels are in a separate file. One thing you will notice from Sant Magi are the large heads also in a separate file. Some Americans might find odd--or even repulsive. The origins of the tradition are murky and it is what it is. There has been discussion about changing some of the heads. After photographing the heads, there was a huge parade. You will not see that in the photos because AlteCocker got her photos before the parade began.
