The Colla Jove de Tarragona has starred in a Sant Fèlix Diada full of emotion and spectacular castells. Before starting, the four groups present made a five-person pillar of mourning in tribute to Manel Huguet, known as 'Gatsby,' a casteller from @Verds who left us this August.

This gesture set the tone for a day full of effort and ambition, where the group demonstrated its strength and complicity with the casteller world.

Meaning of the gesture

The five-person pillar of mourning was not only a tribute but also a way to start the diada with a vivid and present memory. The Colla Jove de Tarragona wanted to highlight the importance of community and shared history.
