La Colla Joves completes the 2 of 8 with a base, the 3 of 8, and the 4 of 8 in Altafulla
The Colla Joves Xiquets de Valls unloaded the 2 of 8 with folre, the 3 of 8, and the 4 of 8 at Altafulla. The event also included the pillar of 6 and a vane of 5, according to the sequence published by the group.
Everything was explained from the square, round by round. First came the 2 of 8 with folre; then, the 3 of 8 and the 4 of 8. The round of pillars completed the performance before the vane of 5.
A performance built round by round
The first castle opens the event
The first message of the day carries the time 09/12/2026 16:32 UTC and corresponds to the publication by the Colla Joves Xiquets de Valls. The tweet text presents it like this: "We’re already in Altafulla!", a direct entry that places the group in the square.
The first round ended with the castle announced by the formation: 2 of 8 with folre. The source describes it literally with the headline “We’re already in Altafulla! In the first round, we unloaded the 2 of 8 with folre. 📸 Roser Giner #castells” and with the text “We’re already in Altafulla! In the first round, we unloaded the 2 of 8 with folre.📸 Roser Giner #castells.”
The publication was spread from the account @JovesValls, with the timestamp Sep 12, 2026. It also features Roser Giner and the tag #castells. The location is repeated in the same report: Altafulla.
Continuity arrives at the second round
At 09/12/2026 17:52 UTC, the Colla Joves Xiquets de Valls published a new update from https://x.com/JovesValls/status/2098832071611314344. The message reports the result of the second round at Altafulla.
The castle unloaded at this moment was the 3 of 8. The source phrases it as “In the second round, at Altafulla, we unloaded the 3 of 8. 📸 Roser Giner #castells”, while the published text shows “In the second round, at Altafulla, we unloaded the 3 of 8.📸 Roser Giner #castells.”
The change of castle does not break the thread of the event; it moves it forward. First, a 2 of 8 with folre. Then, a 3 of 8. The digital chronicle maintains the same scheme: round, castle, and confirmation of the unload.
The third castle and the round of pillars
The 4 of 8 closes the castle rounds
Twenty minutes after the previous communication, at 09/12/2026 18:12 UTC, the third update of the day arrived. The link to the source is https://x.com/JovesValls/status/2098837275064893470.
The Colla Joves Xiquets de Valls explains that in the third round, at Altafulla, it unloaded the 4 of 8. The headline reads “In the third round, at Altafulla, we unloaded the 4 of 8. 📸 Roser Giner #castells” and the message version is “In the third round, at Altafulla, we unloaded the 4 of 8.📸 Roser Giner #castells.”
Again, the photo is credited to Roser Giner and includes #castells. The phrasing is brief, almost telegraphic, but clearly states the sequence: the 4 of 8 was the castle of the third round at Altafulla.
The pillar adds another moment to the square
At 09/12/2026 18:14 UTC, only two minutes after the 4 of 8 communication, the group reported the round of pillars. The publication can be consulted at https://x.com/JovesValls/status/2098837620130250949.
The announced result was the pillar of 6. The source captures it with the headline “In the round of pillars, at Altafulla, we unloaded the pillar of 6. 📸 Montse Ruiz #castells” and with the text “In the round of pillars, at Altafulla, we unloaded the pillar of 6.📸 Montse Ruiz #castells.”
Here the name of the photo credit also changes: Montse Ruiz appears. The rest of the information remains anchored at the same point, Altafulla, and at the same account, @JovesValls. A short note, but with clear value within the chronicle: the pillar of 6 was part of the event.
The farewell of a shared event
The vane of 5 puts the final point
The last update carries the time 09/12/2026 18:20 UTC and the link https://x.com/JovesValls/status/2098839082394894722. The group announces the end of the day at Altafulla.
The message says “We close the event at Altafulla with a vane of 5. Many thanks hosts @CdAltafulla for the welcome! A pleasure to share the square @xiquets. See you soon 🫂 📸 Roser Giner #castells #VenimPerQuedarNos.” The published version is “We close the event at Altafulla with a vane of 5.Many thanks hosts @CdAltafulla for the welcome! A pleasure to share the square @xiquets. See you soon 🫂📸 Roser Giner #castells #VenimPerQuedarNos.”
The vane of 5 completes the casteller narrative. And the farewell incorporates two mentions: @CdAltafulla, thanking the hosts, and @xiquets, with whom the Colla Joves says it shared the square. The symbol 🫂 accompanies the message, just like the tags #castells and #VenimPerQuedarNos.
A chronicle made with brief messages
The day is explained in five communications from the Colla Joves Xiquets de Valls. There is no long narrative or added evaluation: there are concrete results, specific times, and an easy-to-follow succession.
The journey goes from the first round to the second, from the third round to the round of pillars, and finally to the vane of 5. That clear. Each update adds a piece and all keep Altafulla as the shared setting.
The reality is that this event can be read as a continuous line: 2 of 8 with folre, 3 of 8, 4 of 8, pillar of 6, and vane of 5. The value of the chronicle is precisely this order, because it allows us to see how the Colla Joves Xiquets de Valls communicated the performance as the afternoon progressed.
When a group explains an event round by round, the reader doesn’t receive only a list of castles: they receive the rhythm of the square, the waiting between messages, and the final gesture of thanks to the hosts. At Altafulla, the published sequence was closed with the vane of 5 and a farewell that leaves the door open to meet again soon.
