Info: In this video, you witness an impressive feat of human engineering by the Castellers de Vilafranca as they successfully build, load, and unload a 3de10 with folre and manilles. This human tower consists of 10 levels, with 3 people per level in the central column. The lower levels are reinforced by additional structures: the 'folre' (second base) and 'manilles' (third base), which provide stability and strength. As the tower rises, smaller castellers, known as anxaneta and acotxador, carefully climb to the top, balancing with remarkable precision. The crowd watches in awe as the anxaneta raises an arm, signaling the completion of the tower. After the signal, the descent begins, and the castellers disassemble the structure in reverse order. The video captures the concentration, teamwork, and physical prowess required to execute one of the most challenging human towers in the Catalan tradition."
