Xiquets de Tarragona @ Diada Castellera de Santa Tecla 2024

September 15th 2024. Cinematic, storytelling, emotive and dramatic impressions of the skilled Xiquets de Tarragona tower builders snapped at the first main day of this year's Fiesta de Santa Tecla held annually in Tarragona, Catalonia. A castell is a human tower built traditionally at festivals in Catalonia. At these festivals, several colles castelleres (teams that build towers) attempt to build and then dismantle a tower's structure. On 16 November 2010, castells were declared by UNESCO to be amongst the Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity.
The Xiquets team were right in front of the stairs where I was anchored with my camera, hence I was able to capture them the most. There were 3 more tower building teams, will upload their best images together in a separate album.
I'll upload fresh pics from the Fiesta as the event progresses, every day will be showcased in a separate album, stay tuned!
