A day marked by self-demand
The celebration of Santa Tecla in Tarragona was an expected event, but it did not meet the expectations that the gangs had set for themselves. Only Colla Castellera de Sant Pere i Sant Pau managed to maintain the planned course, culminating in the classic 8. On the other hand, other formations such as Xiquets del Serrallo and Jove de Tarragona had to make significant concessions, leaving aside the their initial ambitions.
La Jove and its commitment to prudence
After a festive start with a loaded 5de9f attempt, the Colla Jove decided to prioritize safety. With a loaded pillar and a tense 4de9f, they opted for a more conservative performance with a well-executed triple. His goal was to avoid incidents that could affect his preparation for the next Castle Competition, which is already approaching.
The importance of the essay
With the Contest in sight, Jove decided it was best to gain experience in the square without risking complicated castles that had not been sufficiently rehearsed. This decision, although bitter, reflects a strategic maturity in its approach.
Els Xiquets de Tarragona: a step back
The Xiquets de Tarragona arrived at the day with a feeling of resignation, discarding the castles of 9. Their performance was a clear demonstration of prudence, with a gang leader who did not hesitate to apologize publicly. Despite the initial nerves, they managed to solve their attempts with a 5 out of 8 that was worked, thus closing a day that was not entirely satisfactory.
Expectations for the Castles Competition
The Castellers de Sant Pere and Sant Pau, with their work in the 5 of 8, are preparing to face the Competition with ambition. His strategy has been clear: move forward with firm and sure steps. The Santa Tecla day was an opportunity to consolidate his base before facing one of the most important moments of the season.
A positive balance despite the difficulties
Despite the setbacks, the day culminated without a fall and reflected the resilience of the gangs in the face of challenges. The organization, which suffered considerable delay, will need to review protocols to ensure that punctuality does not become a regular problem. After all, Tarragona continues to be a benchmark in the organization of these celebrations.

The final balance of the actions was as follows:
Castellers de Sant Pere and Sant Pau: 3 of 8, 4 of 8, 2 of 7
Children from Tarragona: 5 of 8, 7 of 8, 4 of 8
