Concurs de Castells for American Travel Mag Afar

If you can get your hands on Afar magazine keep your eyes out my picture of the Castells taken during the Concurs de Castells in Tarragona. This is an amazing event where teams from all around Catalonia gather in the old bull ring to build human towers. Teams are awarded marks for technicality and the height of the towers. One of the main things that struck me about this sport was the comradery that was shown between the teams. All the teams banded together in order to help each other out when the came to building the more technical castells or the higher ones.

Skateboarding in Tarragona

I got to hang out in Spain and shoot skateboarding in Tarragona, Spain with a few of Tarragona’s local skaters over Summer. We just cruised around the city me conversing in my broken spanish and they in the broken english. It was still a lot of fun and great to see some of the local spots that Tarragona has to offer.

We spent our days exploring around the harbour front and the old city hitting some of their favourite spots and looking for some new ones to add to their list. We went as far out as Salou to an old abandoned mansion that had a pool overlooking the Mediterranean.

My thanks to Valen, Frankie, Ceasar and the others for letting me shoot with them and their patience with my terrible spanish.
