The castles of Valls will not forget Ramon Barrufet. This Sunday, May 31, at 12:00 p.m., the Plaça de la Fusta will be the setting for an event that goes beyond a simple performance: a tribute to the honorary president of the Colla Joves Xiquets de Valls.

The Colla Joves Xiquets de Valls, a key reference in the casteller world in the province of Tarragona, has called a special day to remember the figure of Ramon Barrufet. In addition, it will share this moment with other groups such as the Nois de la Torre and the Castellers de Madrid, who will bring their strength and diversity to the event.

An act full of meaning

Who was Ramon Barrufet?

Ramon Barrufet was an emblematic figure for the Colla Joves, not only as honorary president but for his dedication and passion for the casteller world. His connection with this tradition from Tarragona has left a mark on the group and the city of Valls.

The role of the Plaça de la Fusta

The square hosting the event is no ordinary place: it is the civic and casteller heart of Valls. Here, castles have been raised that have marked the history of Catalan popular culture. Therefore, the choice of this space for the tribute adds value and symbolism.

Collaboration between groups

A shared performance

The day will feature the participation of the Nois de la Torre and the Castellers de Madrid. This collaboration shows how the castells connect various communities beyond the traditional territory, giving the festival a universal character.

The value of casteller unity

Sharing the square and effort symbolizes the strength of popular culture to unite people and create moments that transcend time. In this way, Ramon Barrufet’s legacy and his love for castells remain alive.

The impact on the province of Tarragona

Valls, casteller capital

As the birthplace of castells, Valls is a point of reference for the entire province. This tribute is a reminder that local culture and traditions remain more alive than ever, despite difficulties and social changes.

The reflection in Tarragona and surrounding areas

The repercussion of this event goes beyond the city and reaches the rest of the province, where casteller enthusiasm is an identity element. The groups and fans from Tarragona and nearby embrace the tribute as a moment of reunion and reaffirmation.

There may not be grand speeches, but the full square and the raised castells will say it all. Tradition does not stop because someone like Ramon Barrufet made it become much more than a spectacle.
