The Minyons of Terrassa 'castellers' human towers group topped off the city's celebratory day for the tradition with a '5 of 9' human tower with lining, which unfortunately for the group they were not able to unload.

The group first worked hard at forming a '3 of 10' tower with lining, 25 years after doing it for the first time. Yet, this weekend's meeting was difficult to finish off right from the start.

The Castellers de Sants group registered their finest performance since the return to competition after the Covid pandemic. The Sants group recorded a '4 of 9', a '7 of 8' and a '3 of 8'.

Finally, the Castellers de Sant Cugat had an impressive showing on Sunday, registering a '3 of 8', a '4 of 8' and a '2 of 7'.

Sat Cugat's last tower, the '2 of 7', was erected very quickly and agilely despite its technical difficulty.
