‘Castells’ in the rain. This is how one could define the performance of the Catllar where they shared square Castellers of Vilafrancathe Colla Vella Xiquets of Valls and the Colla Jove Xiquets de Tarragona. Despite the initial drops prior to the performance, they have not prevented the first round from taking place, but they have meant that the entire ‘castellera’ performance could not be carried out. However, two ‘castells’ of maximum difficulty, extra range, and 9-story ‘castells’ have been seen.
The first to start the performance were the villafranquinoswhich opened the square with the 3d9f under the rain. A ‘castell’ that they dominated perfectly, showing that they want to go up one more floor in the future. Then followed the Colla Vellawho saw the weather forecast and the black clouds that were approaching, but they weren’t foolish and opened the square with a ‘castell’ of extra range which they had already downloaded twice this year, the 4d9fa.
The ‘castell’ went up well, although the structure of the four was deforming, but they managed to dominate it. When the pillar was left alone, they experienced moments of difficulty that they controlled, and they managed to unload it, causing a applause from the entire audience that held up in the rain. Celebrations in the square with this first extra range of the afternoon. La Jove de Tarragona was the third. Those in the lilac shirt wanted to repeat the 2d9fm, extra range, which they had done for Sant Magí and which had been left in charge. But they parked it for the second round and bet on the first to calm nerves and unload a good 3d9f.
The rain intensified, but it did not look like the Castellers de Vilafranca wanted to give up the second round. So, seeing that extra range had been made on the other side of the square, they also bet on maximum difficulty. The Verds went for 9d8, ‘castell’ that they had already downloaded this year. Once again, under the rain, the ‘castell’ went up they dominated perfectly. They wrote it down by making the little ones celebrate it. The she seesalready with doubts about continuing to act, decided on the 4d9f. A ‘castell’ that remained in disassembled attempt when not even the ‘sisens’ had been placed. After that moment, one of the most anticipated events of the afternoon arrived, the 2d9fm of the Jove de Tarragona. The ‘castell’ was already agitated and stirred up, showing certain difficulties, and the ‘enxaneta’ slipped and decided to shoot down, although the ‘acotxadora’ managed to get into position. Once this disassembled attempt is made, the three colles decided not to continue.
