The tallest tower ever done was 10 people tall. It was done by "Minyons de Terrassa", the group from the city where I live.
"Castellers" is much a tradition than a contest. They score points for each castle done during the year, but it's not the tipical competition. Some groups are trying to make a league, but not all groups are agree with that. They prefer to maintain that as a tradition and spectacle in popular celebrations.
Answering to Jose Miguel, Catalonia has never been an independent country due to militar occupations. Spain killed catalan people, a president and tried to erase catalan culture from the world...
To others... it's a great experience to watch how they construct these castles. If you ever have the opportunity to assist, you can't lose it!
