Hello!
First of all, we give you the welcome to the fascinating world of castles, one of the most deeply rooted traditions in our land. If you are reading these lines, you are interested in joining us at 2024 Castles Competition, which will take place next October 5 at the Tarraco Arena Plaça, in Tarragona.
THE COMPETITION
First of all, we'll give you our five cents on what the Castle Competition is. As its name indicates, it is a competition that takes place every two years, in which all active castelleras gangs can participate. The competition is planned in three days, dividing the gangs according to a classification that ranks them based on the castles achieved during a period of two years. First we find the day of Sunday (06/10), in which the 12 gangs with the highest score take part. Then there is the saturday day (05/10), in which the Tirallongues of Manresa are classified, in which the following 18 gangs participate. Finally, there is the Torredembarra Day (29/09), in which the last 12 gangs participate.
The Castle Competition is governed by its own system of rounds, scoring and general functioning, which makes it a unique and unique castle performance from many points of view. We invite you to visit the Castles Competition website to find out everything!
COME TO THE COMPETITION WITH THE TIRALLONGUES
Thanks to the good results resulting from the efforts of the last seasons, the Tirallongues de Manresa are again classified for Saturday's day, in which we will share space with great gangs from the castellar world. To be able to offer the maximum of us and to be able to share this unique event, we want to be the maximum number of people, thus leaving the name of the gang and the city high, at the same time that we enjoy it as a family.
That's why we offer for free:
– Return transport from Manresa to Tarragona on the same Saturday, October 5
– Being able to attend the Castles Competition, in the square (not in the stands) on Saturday
– Team commemorative T-shirt for the 2024 Contest
– Picnic
What do we ask in return?
- Answer the form that you can access via the QR code on the attached poster or via the following link: Competition form
– Actively participate in the different castles we will make, placing yourself in the different pineapples. Our pine team will tell you exactly where and how to position yourself.
– On October 5th, come with long white pants!
– (For all those people NOT from castels) Come, at least, to a previous rehearsal at the Tirallongues premises (Tuesday at 8.30 pm and Friday at 9 pm) to have the first contact with the castles and to be able to make a reception
There is room for everyone in the castles. You don't need to be physically fit or a specific height. Everyone can contribute, regardless of age, fitness and ability.
We do not tolerate discriminatory behavior towards any gang member or outsiders.
