300 castellers from Valls bring Catalan culture to Getxo and Bilbao this June
300 castellers from Valls travel to Euskadi to showcase the most genuine heritage of Tarragona in a unique expedition.
From June 26 to 28, the Colla Joves Xiquets de Valls will star in two performances in Getxo and Bilbao, in an initiative that blends castells, culture, and brotherhood.
The journey that connects Tarragona with Euskadi
Who are the protagonists?
The Colla Joves Xiquets de Valls, one of the most emblematic casteller groups from the province of Tarragona, mobilizes nearly 300 castellers. It is a movement that not only represents physical strength but also the local culture and tradition that travels beyond home.
Key dates and places of the expedition
The events will be on Saturday, June 27 at Bizkaiko Zubia square in Getxo at 12 p.m. and at the Santiago Cathedral in Bilbao at 7 p.m. Three days dedicated to growing castells outside the traditional territory and projecting the Catalan heritage.
What does this cultural exchange mean for Tarragona?
Castells beyond the province
Bringing castells to Euskadi is not just a show, but a project to expand Catalan popular culture. These performances make the heritage of Tarragona visible on a different stage and strengthen the rooting and dissemination of the castell tradition.
Brotherhood and shared culture
The Colla Joves Xiquets do not travel alone: they share the stage with @castellersEH and Salbatzaile Dantza Taldea. This is not only an exchange of performances but a meeting point between cultures that connects Tarragona with Euskadi through music, dance, and human strength.
Local reactions and expectations
Response from the Valls community
The casteller movement in Valls watches this event with anticipation. It is a demonstration of the vitality of a tradition that still carries the voice of Tarragona beyond its usual borders, and confirms that the local heritage does not remain still.
Impact on the province of Tarragona
This initiative reinforces the image of the province as a cradle of living and exporting culture. For the people of Tarragona, it is a reminder that their culture can reach much farther than it seems and that it still has many surprises to offer.
When a tradition as deeply rooted as the castells goes out to conquer new stages, the question is clear: what will be the next territory where the strength of Tarragona will settle? There is still a way to go.
