Probably one of the most common enquires on our Gothic Quarter Free Tour is where to see human towers in Barcelona. The main “castells” season is from April to October, but you can find them all year round, depending on festival dates.
We have decided to create a post with an updated annual calendar so everyone can enjoy this wonderful Catalan tradition. If you can’t find any Human Towers in Barcelona that suit the time of your visit, be sure you check regularly, as we will be including more as they are announced.
As well as human towers (or castells in Catalan), it is not uncommon to see other similar Catalan traditions, like falcons. I’ll explain to you all about it here and give you the confirmed dates for human towers in Barcelona this year.
To whet your appetite, check out this fantastic video explaining the world of the human towers.
INDEX
Barcelona Human towers and other Catalan traditions:
“Castells” (human towers)
An Impressive Catalan display of a tower made up of humans. There are different types depending on the number of people on each floor. It is considered built when a young child climbs to the top and raises their hand. Hopefully, they won’t all topple down after, but if they do, the young children are wearing helmets for protection.
“Falcons” (human buildings)
These groups make human-shaped formations such as pyramids, revolving towers, etc. Some of the structures can be pretty intricate. The music, as in the castells, is always present, although they do not go as high up as the human towers.
“Gegants” (Giants)
These are large papier-mâché figures that walk around the streets. A real person is carrying it from under the skirt, and different giants represent different neighbourhoods or associations. It is quite amazing to see these Goliath figures performing their own individual dances.
“Bastoners” (stick dancers)
I love this very ceremonial dance using sticks. It derives from a demonstration of skills with weapons in the old times. Small wooden bats are used in the jig, but you still have to be pretty deft not to get your fingers clobbered.
“Sardanas”, “Moixigangas”, etc (traditional dances)
The most traditional dance in Catalonia is the Sardana. Everyone forms a circle holding hands as they trace their steps. Not so fashionable anymore with the younger generation, this jig is mainly performed by the proud golden oldies. During festivals, you could also see other traditional dances, like Moixigangas, probably the origin of the modern human towers.
Human Towers in Barcelona: 2026 calendar [UPDATED]
This information was updated in March 2026
These are the dates confirmed for castellers in Barcelona at the time I updated this article, but there will be more dates coming as the season progresses. Also, many human towers are happening outside Barcelona. If you can’t find any date on the list that suits you, please write in the comments when you will be visiting so I can give you other options outside the city.

There are castells built not only in Barcelona but all over Catalonia. Sometimes they travel to show their incredible human towers to other parts of Spain, or even places like London, Berlin and Asian cities. If you are in Barcelona and don’t see any castellers scheduled during visit, don’t worry. Ask me in the comments as you might be able to catch them just a few kilometres away.
I hope this helps everyone who really wants to see Castellers building their human towers in Barcelona. Don’t forget to respect the people participating in the human towers by keeping silent until the child at the top raises their hand. Then you can all cheer at the top of your voices. Hopefully, you can see one of the records being made.
If you want to learn more about Catalan traditions, you would love our Gothic Quarter Free Tour where you will learn about this one and other traditions in Barcelona. Looking for a very personalised experience? There are plenty of private tours on offer too. Also, if you are here for a few days, don’t forget to check our complete article with things to do in Barcelona.
Is the summer of 2015 Castellars calendar available yet?
Hi Karla. We will be updating this article in the next few days to include the calendar for 2015. Keep posted here.
Hi, when will the 2015 calendar be available please?
We will be visiting Barcelona in early October. Are there any festivals, human towers, Giants scheduled during that time?
Hi JoGuar. Just send us an email with the exact dates and I will check it out for you.
we arrive on October 5 and depart on October 12. Thank you for re.spoding!
So far, there are no “castells” scheduled for those dates in Barcelona, only outside the city. However, you can attend one of the rehearsals of the Castellers of Barcelona. More info here: http://www.castellersdebarcelona.cat/assajos
Hi, I’m in Barcelona 10-14th September and had really hoped to see any of this, please can you tell me if there’s anywhere at all to catch a human tower etc? Thank you very much.
Hi Laura. These are the dates where “castells” are announced on the dates you are here:
10th September: 6pm (Rambla Poblenou corner with Carrer Doctor Trueta)
11th September: 12pm (Plaça del Born)
13th September: 12pm (in front of Sagrada Familia)
13th September: 12:30pm (Parc del Centre del Poblenou)
The best day with the best groups is the 11th of September at Plaça del Born. Remember that it is also a bank holiday that day.
Enjoy it 🙂
Thank you so much, that is the best news ever, I will go to the one on the 11th then!!!! Is that passeig del born by basilica de santa Maria del Mar? Thanks again, hugely helpful.
Yes Laura. There will be somewhere between the back of Santa María del Mar and El Born CC.
hello. where castells will be in Barselona from 17th till 21. or maybe near Lloret de Mar? thanks
What month you are referring to? Let me know so I can check if there are castells in Barcelona or Lloret at that time.
We will be visiting in Barcelona on 6th-10th of September,2015. Do you have Castells schedule on those dates we stay? We are looking forward to see it. Thank you very much!
There is only one day scheduled for “castells” in Barcelona on the dates you are here. That is the 10th of September at 6pm in Rambla Poblenou (corner with Carrer Doctor Trueta).
I hope you can catch it 🙂
Any human towers Sept 17-19,2015. Thanks
Not until the 20th, at Plaça de Sant Jaume and in Poble Nou neighbourhood, both at 12pm.
Is there anything special going on when we will be in Barc Oct.23-25 2015
Hello,
I am arriving in the following cities for the following days:
– Valencia March 18th to March 22nd
– Madrid March 22nd to March 26th
– Barcelona March 26th to March 30th
Any suggestions for where I can see los “Castells”? I’ll be visiting the latter part of Fallas de Valencia and am just visiting the other cities more casually 🙂
Hi David,
It is quite difficult to see castells in Valencia or Madrid as the human towers are a Catalan tradition.
The dates that you are in Barcelona are Tuesday to Saturday. Unless there is a special holiday during the week, the time to see human towers in Barcelona is only on weekends. I just checked if there are any castells in Barcelona (or in nearer towns) that Saturday but I am afraid that they haven’t announced any yet. Maybe check again nearer the time in case they announce something later on, although this is quite unlikely.
Hi we will be in Girona on September 11th, is there any Castells in the Costa Brava area? Where can I find more information on local events performed in Costa Brava for Catalunya Day?
Thank you!
Hi Valerie,
No human towers performance has been announced in the area around Costa Brava for September 11th. Maybe closer to the date, who knows.
You do have “castells”, however, at the main square in Figueres on September 15th if that date suits you. They will be in Plaça de la Vila at 11.30am. It’s a also a good excuse to visit the wonderful Dalí Museum in Figueres ;-).
Thanks so much for collecting all this information! I thought I came across some information that there will be a small competition in Berga on May 5, 2024, but wanted to try to confirm if that is actually happening, or if you know of any other competitions in early May in Barcelona or perhaps in any of the surrounding towns. We will be leaving the area on May 11 or 12, so unfortunately might not be able to make the dates you have listed for the evening of May 11. Thanks!
On May 3rd and 5th you can see human towers near Barcelona in Badalona. This is a city just outside Barcelona. You can even take the metro to get there. Definitely a lot closer than Berga.
These are the 3 events with castellers that happen in Badalona that weekend:
– 3rd May (19:00h): c/ Sant Anastasi
– 3rd May (23:30h): Plaça de la Vila
– 5th May (12:00h): Plaça Roja
I hope you enjoy them 🙂
Thanks so much for the information and the quick response! We’re excited to try to catch some of those times Really appreciate the help!
No problem at all. Seeing humen towers in Barcelona, or anywhere else, is always an unforgettable experience. Have a wonderful time!
Any Castells in the Barcelona, Costa Brava, or Sitges areas during June 19-26, 2024? Didn’t see any listed, thank you!!
The night of the 23rd of June is one of the most important nights in Catalonia (Night of Sant Joan) so there are plenty of human towers events on that day and the 24th. Just let me know where you will be those two days so I can give you some information on castellers that weekend.
Are they still scheduled to perform on June 2, 2024 at Plaça Pius XII (L’Hospitalet de Llobregat) at 11:30h? Thank you!
Yes, this date and time is confirmed. These are the groups of human towers that will perform there:
– Castellers de Cerdanyola
– Colla Jove de l’Hospitalet
– Margeners de Guissona
Enjoy it 🙂
Hi!
I’ll be in Costa Brava on 30th June – 1st July and 1-2 July in Barcelona. Do you know convenient locations for these dates to see human towers?
Thanks!
There are no human towers in Barcelona on those dates so far. However, in Figueres you have castellers on June 30th. This is the time and location.
30th June (12:00h) in Plaça Catalunya (Figueres)
Enjoy it!
Hello,
I am arriving in the following cities for the following days:
– Haro June 28th to June 30th
– Costa Brava June 30th to July 1st
– Barcelona July 1st to July 3rd
– Mallorca July 3rd – July 5th
Any suggestions for where I can see los “Castells”? I’ll be visiting the Haro Wine festt and am just visiting the other cities more casually
The only place where human towers take place on those dates is in Figueres (Costa Brava) on June 30th. This is the information:
30th June (12:00h) in Plaça Catalunya (Figueres)
Enjoy it!
We will be in Catalonya October 2024 with a fairly flexible schedule. We are particularly interested in seeing Castellers de Vilafranca. Do you have a schedule of their performances for October? Thank you.
This is the schedule so far for the Castellers de Vilafranca in October:
19th October (18:00h): Cap de la Vila (Sitges)
20th Otober (12:00h): Montserrat Abbey
26th October (18:00h): Plaça de l’Ajuntament (Igualada)
Most importantly, on the 5th and 6th of October, you have the Human Towers competition at Tarraco Arena in Tarragona. This event takes place every second year and it is the best display of Catalan human towers that you can find anywhere. The best human tower groups (colles) compete, and Castellers de Vilafranca will definitely be there. Tickets will be on sale from July 24th at this site: https://entrades.tarragona.cat/
I hope it helps 🙂
Hey! We will be in Barcelona June 24-28, can you tell us where we could catch the castellars?!
I am afraid that there are no human towers scheduled in Barcelona for the dates you mentioned. They usually take place on weekends and bank holidays. Although June 24th is a holiday in Catalonia and there are some castellers in other parts of the region, there are none happening in Barcelona.
Hi there, we’re in Barcelona from today 20th of June till the 27th. Are the Castells still happening on the 24th please? We saw them in Tarragona last week and were amazed!!! Also will lots of shops/restaurants be shut on the 25th? Thank you.
You have human towers in Barcelona on June 23rd at 6pm at Plaça de Sant Jaume with the Castellers de Barcelona. There are no castells on June 24th.
The bank holiday is on the 24th (Sant Joan’s) and most shops and some restaurants will be closed. There is not much happening that day as the big celebration is on the night of the 23rd. This will last until the early morning of the 24th.
Tuesday 25th is a regular day and everything will be open.
I hope it helps 🙂
So kind of you to reply so quickly. Thank you.
Hello! We will be in Barcelona from 10 to 17 November, can you tell us where we could catch the castellars? Also can we also have the chance to see traditions such as “Gegants” and “Bastoners” ? Thanks a lot.

Enjoy it 🙂
Hallo Gorka, wir haben heute, Dank Deines Terminplan, die menschlichen Türme auf dem Place de la Revolution bestaunen dürfen. Ich hatte bereits einen Kurzfilm darüber gesehen und bin bei meiner Suche im www. auf Eure Website gestoßen.
Es war einfach fantastisch. Angeführt durch einen Spielmannszug füllte sich der Platz sehr schnell und die Castellers, die aus 4 verschiedenen Gruppen bestanden, haben uns bestens unterhalten. Ein großartiges Schauspiel (oder besser gesagt: eine sportliche Höchstleistung), bei der selbst 7-jährige Kinder voller Vertrauen in die unter ihnen stehenden Erwachsenen in schwindelerregende Höhe klettern.
Wir fühlen tiefen Respekt für alle Castellers.
Und Euch einen herzlichen Dank für die sehr informative Website. Das war super.
Beste Grüße von Silvi und Phil aus Hamburg
Glad you enjoyed it. To me, the human towers are a very special event to witness. Very special.
Hello,
I am interested in any castells in Barcelona area during September,26th and October, 3rd. Would you be so kind to help me with these dates? Thank you so much!
There are no castells scheduled in Barcelona city on those dates, but you have some in some nearby towns.
28th September:
– 18:00h Plaça de la Vila (El Prat de Llobregat)
– 18:00h Plaça de l’Ajuntament (Sitges)
29th September:
– 12:00h Plaça de la Constitució (Vilafranca del Penedès)
12:00h Plaça Àngel Guimerà (Cornellà de Llobregat)
In Vilafranca del Penedés, you have the Castellers de Vilafranca (probably the best group) and it’s a good choice if you are planning to visit some wineries in the area.
Another good option is also to visit Sitges, see the human towers there and spend the day in this seaside town. You could have a swim at the beach at the end of September too.
I hope it helps 🙂
We’ll be in Barcelona from November 21, 2024 and leaving November 25, 2024. Any Castells during that time frame? Thank you!
I am afraid that there are no human towers scheduled in Barcelona on those dates.
Love this website, thank you! Are there any castells happening between 30 Oct and 5 Nov? Even outside Barcelona?
I am afraid that there are no human towers in Barcelona on those dates. The closest castells to Barcelona would be these ones:
– Plaça de la Vila (Vilafranca del Penedès) – 1st November 11:15h
– Plaça Vella (Terrassa) – 2nd November 18:00h
– Raval de Montserrat (Terrassa) – 3rd November – 12:00h
– Plaça Milà i Fontanals (Vilafranca del Penedès) – 3rd November 18:30h
I hope it helps.
Hello any more Castellers in the Barcelona or nearby region including Premia de mar?
Thank you
Please tell me when you are visiting so I can check if there are castells in Barcelona or Premià de Mar at that time.
I know this is short notice, but I am in Barcelona until December 11th (2024) and was wondering if you knew of any fun, cultural events nearby that would be worth a visit. Any recommendations are appreciated and thanks in advance!
The human towers usually only run on weekends or bank holidays, so there is nothing scheduled between the 9th and the 11th of December.
Regarding other cultural activities, there’s always plenty on offer in Barcelona. It all depends on your interests so you can try a site like Time Out or the City Council website (https://guia.barcelona.cat/en/agenda) to see if something grabs your attention.
Are there any events like this April 7,8,11,or12? (2025)
Thank you so much!
The calendar of human towers for 2025 hasn’t been announced yet but it will be ready soon and I will update it. In any case, the most chances of seeing castells in Barcelona would be on April 12th, as they always take place on weekends or bank holidays.
I hope it helps.
Hi, we will be in Barcelona and Madrid from July 26 to August 3, 2025. Please kindly advise of any other dates within or in the proximity of these cities. Thanks so much!
Sandra
Human towers is a Catalan tradition, so it will be difficult to find them in Madrid (although in rare occasions, they do perform there too).
During your visit, there are no announced castells in Barcelona city, but you can see some in towns outside Barcelona (an hour away or longer by public transport). These are the locations:
– Vilanova i la Geltrú
– Santa Cristina d’Aro
– Sant Joan de Mediona
– La Pobla de Segur
– Altafulla
– Blanes
– Salt
– Sant Pol de Mar
– Andorra la Vella
– Riuet de Sort
Sort
– Els Pallaresos
If you fancy traveling to one of these locations, let me know and I can tell you the details on where and when the human towers will take place.
Also, it is still very early in the season and there might still be castells announced in Barcelona during that time. My advice is to check this article regularly as it gets updated once a month.
Hi! I missed the event today June 15 (I think, it started 40m ago don’t know how long it lasts) are there any other performances before or on 18th of June?
Ahh, I am sorry you missed it. However, they always last a lot longer than 40 minutes, so maybe you went to the wrong square? It was in Plaça Bonanova, in the neighborhood of Sant Gervasi.
Human tower events usually happen on weekends and holidays, so I am afraid that the next ones will be on June 21st 🙁
Hello! I am currently in Barcelona and will be here until July 26th. I know that this weekend is a big holiday, are there any performances happening this week that you know of? I am willing to travel out of Barcelona to see the castells! Thank you for your advice!
There are no human towers in Barcelona on those dates, but you can see them today (June 22nd) in Cornellà. This is a city next to Barcelona, and only about 20 minutes away by public transport.
The castells will take place in Plaça de l’Església (Cornellà de Llobregat), and one of the main castellers groups (Minyons de Terrassa) will be performing there.
Enjoy it!
Hi, I’m in Tossa de Mar between 17th and 21st sept 2025. Happy to travel to Barcelona or somewhere in-between to see human tower or giants. Can you advise please
There are no human towers scheduled in Barcelona City on those dates, I am afraid. On September 20th, you have castells in the town of Calella, in between Barcelona and Tossa de Mar. They will be at 18:00h at Plaça de l’Ajuntament.
I hope it helps.
I am in Barcelona on September 7 and 8, 2025. On your tracking calendar I see that there are 3 performances of castellers on Septmber 7. Is any one of them better than the other two? Which of the 3 do you recommend?
Maybe go to the ones in Poblenou. Not because they are the best ones (these ones are all equally good), but because you also have Poblenou festival at the same time.
Hello-
Do you know if the September 11 times and locations are confirmed? I am having a difficult time finding confirmation information on the internet about Sept11 events. Thank you!
These are the places, times and castellers groups announced for human towers in Barcelona on September 11th:
– Fossar de les Moreres at 10:00h
Castellers de Barcelona, Sants, Poble sec, Vila de Gràcia, Sarrià, Esquerra de l’Eixample, Sagrada Família and Jove de Barcelona
– Plaça Comercial (Born) at 11:30h
Castellers de Vilafranca, Minyons de Terrassa i Capgrossos de Mataró and Jove de Barcelona
The locations are actually quite close to each other.
I am at the Oct 4 location and do not see them was it cancelled? I leave Barcelona and head to Madrid tomorrow
I just checked the event and it shows at carrer del Compte d’Urgell, 217, which is a 15-minute walk away from the original location. I updated the info in the calendar only last week, so this was an unexpected last-minute change.
Sorry that you missed them. If you are leaving tomorrow in the afternoon, you can still catch some castells at 11:30am in Plaça del Congrés Eucarístic.
Thanks for checking! I’m sad I missed it!
Kudos for answering comments here for ten years!!
I’m hoping to get to the event at Plaça de Cardona on October 25! Can’t wait, and can’t wait to experience the castell in person!
Will you update the TBA details here when you have them? And how early do you recommend to arrive?
Any other castells on your radar Oct 20-25 outside of Barcelona?
Muchas gracias!!!
My pleasure. The castells event at L’Hospitalet de Llobregat will be at 16:00h. It’s a big event with 11 groups of castellers performing. The location is in L’Hospitalet de Llobregat, which is the city next to Barcelona, easily accessible by public transport.
There are a few more human towers outside Barcelona on the 25th. Some are as far as Palma de Mallorca or Andorra, but there are also some in towns nearer to Barcelona, like Mataró or Mollet del Vallès.
Gracias!! It’s tomorrow! Have you heard of the specific location? ✌️
The location for the castellers tomorrow in Hospitalet del Llobregat is in Passeig de la Rajola.

The castellers will meet at 16:30h and the performance will start at 17:00h
Enjoy it 🙂
Have the time for December 18th at Facultat de Biologia not yet been confirmed? It says both 15.30 and 16.30 in your list.
Great list, thank you very much!
There are 2 separate events, both university related.
The exact location for the one at 15:30h hasn’t been confirmed yet. The one in the Facultat de Biologia is scheduled for 16:30h.
I hope it helps.
Could you give a little more information as to where the performance will be on 18th April 2026? I’ve searched La Palma on Google Maps and I’m not entirely sure I’m looking at the correct place! Thank you so much!
The exact place is at Plaça Font i Sagué in El Clot neighborhood. It’s part of the “Mona solidaria”, a charity event to collect food, organised by La Palma Patisserie. There are a few activities, and even a giant 30kg “mona de Pascua” (traditional Easter cake). I will update the information now to give more details.
Thank you so much, that is really helpful!
Thank you for making this list. Do you expect March 14th. Plaça del Pi at 18:00h to happen with the rain expected?
When it rains, the human towers displays are usually cancelled. However, it’s a bit early to know if it will rain or not that day. It’s not unocommon that rain is announced, and then, there is only a cloudy day. My advice is to wait for that morning, and see how the weather is.
Hi Gorka
I have flexibility regarding dates for my visit in Barcelona. Which are the best dates/events this summer with the most impressive performances?
Andreas
If you are here in September, the ones at Plaça de Sant Jaume on September 27th will the the mist impressive ones in Barcelona City in the whole year.
If that is too late, try to see the human towers during the festival of Gràcia neighborhood in mid-August.
Thank you very much!
No problem. I hope you enjoy it 🙂
Hi Gorka,
Thanks so much for this amazing information!! My parents and brother’s family visited Barcelona and staying till 14 April. Do you have any recommendation to see castellers or experience. We can arrange to go out of city as well! They are from South Korea so I’d love to make a special moments for them 🙂
Cheers

Carrer de Santa Carolina, 69 at 12:00h
I hope it helps 🙂
Thank you! Will try to visit there. The address shows one whole Calle(street). Do you mind letting me know where should I go?…
It’s all in the information. On April 11th they will be in the corner of Carrer Sant Jordi with carrer Càceres. On April 12th at carrer de Santa Carolina, number 69.
Hello!
I see that there is a castellers event happening on May 21 at Àgora UPF Ciutadella.
I am not sure where that is. Do you have an address?
And how does one attend? Are there tickets for sale? Is it free?
Thank you!
The castellers will perform at the University Campus, just behind Ciutadella Park. I am not sure of the exact place at the universitu, but you will probably see it when you arrive (it’s not very big). This is the address in Google maps: https://maps.app.goo.gl/7zNy6A7ARhurqv9Y7
The human towers events are free to attend, and you don’t need to book anything. Just show up, look for the gathering of people and enjoy it
Thank you so much!
Estarei em Barcelona de dias 15 a 17 de setembro, alguma apresentação de Castellers prevista para essas datas?
The castellers events are always on weekends or bank holidays. I am afraid that there’s nothing scheduled for the 15th the 17th of September
