Castellers de Vilafranca face the last days before the Competition with a well-oiled machine

 


 

A few weeks ago the Castellers de Vilafranca launched the group's promotional campaign for the 25th Tarragona Castle Competition, which will take place this Sunday, October 5. A "V de Verds" inspired by the film "V de Vendetta" and which wants to represent the spirit that lives in Vilafranca for the Tarragona meeting: castellers and fans, all together to achieve, once again, the first position in the Competition .

 

At an organizational level, the Greens already have everything ready to bring a good number of shirts and fans to the Tarraco Arena Plaça. In the remaining rehearsals this week, on Wednesday at 9 pm and Friday at half past 10 pm, the shirts will be distributed to the fans who want to enter the square with the gang to play. Some very important tests, moreover, to finish preparing all the variety of castells that the people of Vilafranca are preparing for Sunday. In this sense, yesterday in a press conference, the gang leader of the formation from Penedes, Pere Almirall, already encouraged Vilafranca and the region to participate with the gang "in a Competition that will be 10".

 

Up to 10 coaches have been reserved for the gang to go to Tarragona with castellers and the fans who stay downstairs doing pineapple. They will leave at around 8am from in front of the Greens social headquarters, Cal Figarot, although the timetables have yet to be confirmed and therefore the departure time is open to slight variations.

 

 

The gang is also encouraging all ticketed fans, family and friends to wear verds items in the stands, such as the shirts, jumpers or scarves that have been handed out and sold on other occasions.
