Colla Jove de Tarragona makes the earliest magic triplet in Girona

La Colla Jove de Tarragona has left its mark in Girona with a memorable performance: the earliest and also farthest magic triplet. Three towers full of difficulty and tradition that made everyone vibrate at the 30th anniversary of the Marrecs de Salt.

The performance, held last June 15, was a clear example of the strength and perseverance of the Tarragonins, who far from home unloaded three emblematic towers with great skill.

The magic triplet: what it means and why it matters

The towers unloaded

La Colla Jove de Tarragona completed the performance by unloading the 3d9f, 4d9f, and 5d8. This combination is known as the magic triplet because it encompasses towers of very high technical complexity and a strong symbolic charge within the casteller world.

The 3d9f and the 4d9f are nine-story towers with a second layer of support (folre), a construction that demands extraordinary coordination and strength. The 5d8, on the other hand, is an eight-story tower but requires remarkable balance and agility.

Context and impact in the province

La Colla Jove has not only brought this feat to Girona but has done so at an emblematic event: the 30th anniversary of the Marrecs de Salt, a well-known group from the Gironès region. This fact places the performance far from Tarragona, a detail that further emphasizes the commitment and projection of the Tarragonins.

The good atmosphere and camaraderie between groups—with special mention to Marrecs and Verds—has been a key element for success, showing that the casteller spirit transcends municipalities and unites the province.

Other towers and elements of the performance

Pillars and complementary towers

In addition to the triplet, La Jove de Tarragona completed the performance with a six-story pillar and three five-story pillars. They also performed the walking pillar, a display of their skill and experience in this art that goes beyond just building towers.

These elements not only add points to the performance but also serve to keep the tradition alive and offer a wider range of casteller spectacle.

The meaning of the performance for La Jove

The tweet from La Colla Jove makes it clear that they are not satisfied: “We don’t let up, we want more!” This phrase shows the desire to continue growing and taking on challenges, an attitude that is the very essence of the casteller movement and directly connects with the passion of the people of Tarragona for this culture.

The presence and success in Girona are a good example of how La Colla Jove projects itself beyond the capital of Tarragona, maintaining its essence and drive.

Reactions and resonance in the province

Casteller community and local support

The towers are a decisive cultural asset in Tarragona and its province. La Colla Jove is one of the pillars of this tradition, and their performance in Girona has been followed with pride by fans and locals in the area.

Social media has served to amplify the message and share the pride for a feat that confirms Tarragona’s leading role within the casteller world.

Impact and future opportunities

These kinds of performances away from home are the best showcase for La Colla Jove and for the popular culture of Tarragona. Opening new stages and maintaining the level of excellence guarantees that Tarragona will continue to be a reference and that the tradition not only endures but reinvents itself.

The outlook is clear: more high-level towers, more projection, and more pride for the province.

The Marrecs de Salt celebrate 30 years, and La Jove de Tarragona adds a burst of color and strength that no one expected so early or so far. For now, the party continues and the enthusiasm doesn’t end.
