Catalan castellers showcase new towers ahead of Les Santes celebrations

In Cabrera de Mar, the Minyons de Terrassa and Capgrossos de Mataró staged a high‑level human‑tower day, completing an eight‑storey castle and several lower structures as a rehearsal for the upcoming Les Santes festival.

In Sant Cugat, the Gausacs concluded the first half of the season at the V Diada de la Llotgeta, delivering a 4‑of‑8 tower followed by a 7‑of‑7, while guest groups Bordegassos de Vilanova and Castellers de Caldes also performed a series of seven‑ and six‑storey castles. Both events were praised by the teams’ leaders as successful previews for the summer calendar of castell competitions.

These local cultural showcases highlight the continued popularity of the traditional Catalan human‑tower sport as communities prepare for larger festivals later in the summer.
