Castles

The 3 out of 10 of the Minyons of Terrassa puts the icing on the cake for 2025 casteller

The Mauves unload the castle of 10 after nine years and crown the clean 4

The Minyons de Terrassa demonstrated their progress this Sunday, having slowed their pace to ensure the correct steps. They achieved their main goal of completing a 3 of 10 human tower with a lining and handcuffs. Other highlights of the weekend included the Castellers de Sants' double of 9-level human towers and the Jove de Barcelona's classic 8-level tower. The Minyons, true to their nature, tackled their main objective right from the start. After a first foot that was placed before the grallas (traditional Catalan instruments) even sounded, they raised it into a tower that never stopped moving. The children's speed was key to completing a structure that struggled with the placement of the handcuffs and quarters. A quick descent allowed them to finish the tower to the cheers of the Plaça Vella. With the first challenge overcome, the second was a 4 of 9 without a lining. total castle They climbed to the third level but didn't display their best qualities, with two rows too close together. In this case, a more measured ascent by the children put the crowd under pressure in a tower they were building. They mustered the strength to push it to the limit and complete the fender again after 26 years. With the collapse, they abandoned their attempt at a third level and finished with the 5 of 8. Thus, they ended with a bittersweet feeling, but having once again put the name of the Minyons on the map of the country's top human tower groups.

For their part, the Castellers de Sants maintained the level they had shown in recent weeks, again using the two basic towers as their flagship structure, which they completed with considerable ease. The 2 of 8 with a lining was more frequently attempted by the latter, while the Borinots chanted "one more level." The two-level structure with a lining, therefore, is presented as one of the goals for the team in the gray shirts next year.
