Empezó como una exposición dedicada a los más pequeños, pero se ha convertido también en una auténtica cita a enmarcar en el calendario de los coleccionistas. El Clickània de Montblanc, a la Conca de Barberà, es el festival de los clicks de Playmobil de referencia y se ha hecho más grande en cada edición.
Aquí hay ni más ni menos que 500 m2 con dioramas temáticos, que son maquetas con figuras, edificios, vehículos, animales… donde los protagonistas absolutos son los clicks. Escenas dedicadas al Antiguo Egipto, al Far West, a la época medieval, a los piratas… Los clicks nunca cambiarán la expresión de la cara, pero a ti seguro que te dejan con la boca abierta.

In this TripIdea we propose in a just a single day to climb to the highest point of Tarragona and go down to the deepest place of the city. First you will see everything from the perspective offered by the bell tower of the cathedral and then you will discover the entrails of a hidden city underground that very little have been lucky to visit.

and enjoy the show! As you look at it with the eyes of visitors, the parents of children who climb to the top of the human 'castells' spend an endless momento of anxiety. When the person in charge of the group gives the signal, the "acotxador" – the penultimate to climb to the human tower- and the "enxaneta " – the child that crowns the construction - have to be sharpen their wits to crown the "castell", climbing
among legs and arms. When they reach the top, maybe 7 or 8 meters from the ground, the parents have eaten their nails and do not want to look any longer.
Living the Tarragona Human Towers Contest from the stands, close to the protagonists, but with a privileged view, is a real luxury. In 2010 the 'castells' were designated Intangible Cultural Heritage of Mankind and for the pride of the lands of Tarragona and Costa Daurada (Golden Coast),the origin of this tradition is in the city of Valls.
The Contest is ceklebrated avery two years and brings together the best 'colles castelleres' of the season of all Catalonia. It is the contest of reference of the calendar in which the towers are scored and one colla – group – becomes the winner. The Castellers of Vilafranca, Colla Vella de Valls, Colla Jove de Taragona and the Minyons of Terrassa have competed in the last editions, which have always ended with the victory of Vilafranca. And every year there are new castells and more challenges are overcome.
