A Decisive Weekend for the Castellers
This weekend, Tarragona becomes the epicenter of castle passion with the celebration of the Castles Competition, an event that takes place every two years. The gangs of Catalonia prepare to compete in a day marked by emotion and collective effort, with the aim of demonstrating their skill and strength.
High Expectations for the Moixiganguers of Igualada
The Moixiganguers of Igualada, one of the prominent participants, are preparing with ambition to face this challenge. Pau Mestre, the vice-president of the gang, shared the goals set for the competition: perform 3d9f, 4d9f and 5d8, with the intention of showing their best version.
A Different Acting Style
Mestre emphasizes that performing on Sunday represents a significant change compared to Saturday’s performances. The pressure is different, with less collaboration between gangs, and the noisier environment can influence the execution of castles. This new context presents an additional challenge for the castellers, who will have to manage the stress and the competitive atmosphere.
Promising Trials and Solid Preparation
The gang has shown its determination throughout the season, with trials that have generated good expectations. The castles in their portfolio have been intensively tested, and the tests carried out have given them renewed confidence. Technical preparation has been meticulous, with a focus on nine-story castles that have been most frequently rehearsed.
The Importance of Community
Although the group has managed to mobilize a large number of followers, Pau Mestre expresses concern about the loyalty of the community. The post-covid competition has presented unexpected challenges, and it is crucial that the Moixiganguers maintain the support of their fans to continue growing.
A competition with history
In recent editions, gangs such as Castellers de Vilafranca have demonstrated their superiority, and the bar is set high for the participants. The last edition saw how the Moixiganguers were classified in sixth position, a result they want to overcome. If they manage to download the planned castles, they could mark a historic moment in their career.
A Day That Can Change Everything
Expectations are high and the tension is palpable in the atmosphere. If the Moixiganguers of Igualada manage to download the castles they have prepared, they will not only get a prominent place in the competition, but will also write a new page in their history. The Castellera community is looking forward to seeing how this unique competition unfolds, which promises excitement and memorable moments.
