TarragonaTarragona's main festival is almost halfway through, after a first weekend that managed to mobilize many Tarragona residents. Particularly noteworthy were the Peonada, the traditional race in which some 1,100 people participated, and the human tower event on the first Sunday of Santa Tecla, which filled the entire Plaza de la Font and thrilled the audience with its A brilliant performance by the Colla Vella de los Niños de Valls, who downloaded a 5de9f and a beautiful 4de9sf.

The Santa Tecla festival continues and the people of Tarragona are already preparing for the busy weekend, with all eyes on Sunday night, when the beasts and giants enter the Plaza del Rei and the 'Amparito Roca, the favorite pasodoble of the main festival. Before the Amparito agreements are announced, however, major concerts are planned to liven up the last weekend of Santa Tecla.
