Valls is a town in the province of Tarragona that is famous across Spain for its calçots: these spring onions are grilled on a barbecue and are a popular fixture of Catalan cuisine. The town is also famous for its tradition of castells, or human towers. The town, the capital of the Alt Camp area, has much more to offer, though.

The church of Sant Joan Bautista, the town’s crowning jewel, has a bell tower that rises 240 feet high, offering unique views over the Camp de Tarragona area. Near the church, you’ll find Plaça del Blat, where the Xiquets de Valls have made history with their human towers.
