La Pinya!

What is “La Pinya”?

“La Pinya” is the group of people who take part in the base of a human tower. Although at first sight the “Pinya” looks like a group of people matted, but in reality, each of the persons belonging has a strategic position to help to the vertical structure.

Is it really important?

Of course! “La pinya” is essential. First of all, because it is the pillow of the human tower. If there is any problem and the human tower falls down, it will absorb the knock of all the people who are in the vertical structure.

Secondly, “La Pinya” is a part of the human tower. It is the base and it supports the vertical structure of the human tower. It gives power to the first floor and fixes the base of the vertical structure.

I leave you with an aerial photograph of a human tower in which you can watch perfectly the structure of the “Pinya”:
