A Climax Castellera in Terrassa
The Diada dels Minyons de Terrassa marks the closing of the calendar of castellera activities for the 2024 season. This Sunday, Plaça Vella will be the stage where the mauve group will seek to achieve their first 2de9 with lining and handcuffs of the year, in addition to two other high-level castells.
Expectations of the Invited Groups
The Capgrossos de Mataró and the Castellers de Sants, with different levels of ambition, will join the competition with the aim of leaving a significant mark on this event. The Festa Major del Clot, with the possible performance of the 4de9 with Barcelona Castellers lining up, is another point of interest this weekend.
The Preparation of the Minions
Since the beginning of the year, the Minyons have been in a process of renovation, focusing on improving their structures. Until the end of October, they could not aspire to the 5de9 with lining or the 9de8. Now, in the absence of a rehearsal, expectations are high, with the intention of repeating these castells and adding the 2de9 with lining and manilles with new positions.
The Capgrossos and the Castellers de Sants
The Capgrossos de Mataró arrive in Terrassa with the joy of having recently achieved 5 out of 9 with lining on All Saints Day. With the recovery of the 4de8 with pin, they look to consolidate their position with another big castle. On the other hand, the Castellers de Sants, without options to make the 3 de 9 with lining, aspire to repeat their best performance with the 4 de 9 lined and other structures.
The Last Performance of the Castellers of Barcelona
The Castellers de Barcelona season will culminate in Plaça de Valentí Almirall, where they aim to repeat the 4de9 folrat after having successfully unloaded the 5de8. In addition, the Castellers de Sabadell and the Castellers de Vila de Gràcia will also play a prominent role, with several performances scheduled.
Other Castellers Events
La Jove de Barcelona is waiting for a change that will allow them to make the second 3 of 8 of the year, while the Bordegassos of Vilanova are looking to recover from a recent setback with the intention of making a 4 of 8 or a tower of 7
Weekend Calendar
On Saturday, several days will be held in different locations, including the Festa Major de Sant Martí Provençals and the Fair of Youth Organizations in Manacor. On Sunday, the Day of the Minyons of Terrassa will be the culminating moment, with the participation of the Capgrossos of Mataró and the Castellers of Sants.
Featured Events
In addition to the Terrassa Day, there will also be important performances in Andorra, Esparreguera, and Viladecans, promising a weekend full of casteller tradition and excitement.
