Santa Tecla to the ear: 5 podcasts with stories and curiosities of the Tarragona Major Festival

The Festa Major of Tarragona can now be listened to. The City Council and Tarragona Radio have joined forces to launch a new podcast that gathers the most genuine stories and curiosities of Santa Tecla. This project aims to reach a wider audience and bring the festival to every ear, regardless of their location. It is a fresh and innovative way to bring a centuries-old tradition closer to new generations and to those who cannot enjoy all the activities in person.

For the people of Tarragona who experience the Festa Major intensely, but who, for various reasons, cannot always attend all the events, this podcast will be a perfect opportunity to feel connected to the festival. With five initial episodes, the program promises to offer a sound journey full of anecdotes, stories, and unique moments that make Santa Tecla such a special celebration for the city.

What is 'La Tecla a l’orella'?

The podcast 'La Tecla a l’orella' is a proposal from the Tarragona City Council in collaboration with Tarragona Radio that seeks to give a new format to the Festa Major. Through this medium, they want to tell the festival from a more intimate and close perspective, gathering stories and curiosities that often go unnoticed amid the bustle of large events. With this format, the festival transcends physical space and reaches listeners whenever and wherever they want.

When and where can it be listened to?

The first five episodes will be available starting Friday, September 4, coinciding with the start of the Festa Major. They will be available on popular digital platforms such as Spotify and iVoox, as well as on the Tarragona Radio portal, facilitating access to all kinds of audiences. This distribution strategy aims to make the content reach both Tarragonins and those interested in local culture from other places.

Why is this podcast of interest to the people of Tarragona?

How does this affect the residents?

With this podcast, residents have a new way to connect with their most emblematic festival. Not everyone can attend all the events or may want to relive moments they missed or remember anecdotes told by the protagonists. Additionally, it is a useful tool for the elderly or those with reduced mobility who want to feel involved without leaving their home. It is also a resource for younger people who consume digital content and look for new ways to experience tradition.

What content can we expect to listen to?

'La Tecla a l’orella' will gather stories that bring the festival to life: from personal anecdotes to little-known curiosities, including explanations about its origins and traditions. This human and close approach provides cultural value that reinforces the feeling of local identity and keeps collective memory alive. The initiative also creates a bridge between past and present, helping to transmit the Festa Major to future generations in an accessible and appealing way.
