The earliest 3d9f of the Colla Jove de Tarragona makes the move to summer 2026

Summer arrived in Gràcia with a 3d9f that goes down in the record books. The Colla Jove de Tarragona set their earliest ever record, making it clear that the castellera season is underway.

Yesterday, May 17, the square was filled with energy and wood with a performance that thrilled the audience and set the gaze on the next important event: the Diada del Pallol.

The 3d9f, a historic step

Premiering the earliest 3d9f is a milestone not seen every day. This highly complex castell was raised with confidence, showing that the Colla Jove not only delivered another performance, but took the step towards greater challenges this season.

Other castells of the day

Besides the 3d9f, the Colla completed an important series of constructions: the 5d8, the 2d8f, the pd6, and a sequence of two pd5 and two pd4. This combination of structures shows the group’s solidity and versatility, capable of building castells of different difficulties in a single performance.

Context and collaborations that create atmosphere
