A promising start for the Capgrossos de Mataró
Last Sunday, the Capgrossos de Mataró won their first 8 -story building in the 2025 season in Banyoles. This event marks a significant moment in the casteller calendar, as other groups such as the Castellers de Sabadell, the Minyons de Terrassa and the Moixiganguers de Igualada have expressed their desire to follow their example.
Duplicate commitments for the Minyons of Terrassa
March is an intense month for the Minyons of Terrassa, which after their first rehearsal in Sant Pere Nord, have two consecutive performances scheduled: one in Cerdanyola del Vallès on Saturday and the other in Sabadell Sunday. With the aim of presenting its first castles of 8, the gang, led by Albert Pérez, hopes to exceed expectations.
Expectations in Cerdanyola
During Cerdanyola’s Day, the local gang will come with structures of 6, while the Tirallongues of Manresa, with Lluís Mayolas at the helm, will try to complete a performance of 7.The Castellers de la Sagrada Familia will also seek to add two basic ones of 7 to their performance.
The return to the square for the Castellers de Barcelona
Five weeks after the day of Santa Eulàlia, the Castellers de Barcelona will return to the square. Its performance on Saturday afternoon in the Plaza del Pi aims to consolidate its basic constructions and a average range of 7, while the Castellers de Badalona will be aimed at carrying three castles of 6.
The Diada de Santa Madrona
On Sunday at noon, the Castellers de la Vila de Gràcia will be the protagonists of the Santa Madrona Day, with the possibility of choosing between several constructions of 7. At the same time, the Castellers del Poble Sec, who organize the event, will look for a complete repertoire.
Preparations and key meetings

Agenda of the weekend
