Standing tall

This practice dates back to the 18th century, when a traditional dance of the region began taking on a new dimension. Today, climbers, barefoot and wearing sashes around their torsos for support, create towers which are, in some cases, nine storeys high, each crowned by a small child.

The tower competition is the main event, but parallel parades, music, street performances and concerts will also take place, showcasing the culture and history of the city.

A journey back further into the history of the city, as far back as the early Christians, can be made at the exhibition housed in impressively-remodelled Seminary building pictured. If you know where this is, you could win a prize.

Please send the name of the city and the name of the human tower competition (in the original language) to english@diariosur.es. Only entries with your full name, delivery address and telephone number will be considered.

Last month's photo showed Bohinj valley (Slovenia) where Kravji Bal, a festival to celebrate the return of the cattle took place.

Congratulations to Håkan Assarsson in Estepona who answered correctly. Your prize will be on its way to you soon.
