The Colla Vella dels Xiquets de Valls showcased their 'castell' prowess last Saturday in Valls, during the Casteller Museum festival, successfully completing their first 7-level pillar with 'folre' of the season.

The performance, held on Saturday the 30th, began with an attempt at the 4 of 9 with 'folre', the third of the season for the 'rosats'. Subsequently, they successfully completed the 3 of 9 with 'folre', marking the second time they have achieved this structure this year.
As their third structure, the Colla Vella presented the 4 of 8 with a pillar, a 'castell' they had not performed this year. In the fourth round, they completed the 5 of 8, the fourth of this category performed during the season.
The highlight of the festival for the Colla Vella came during the pillar round, where they took a significant step by debuting their first 7-level pillar with 'folre' of the 'castell' season. The performance concluded with four 5-level pillars.
The Nens del Vendrell also participated in this festival, performing the 3 of 7, the 4 of 8, the 4 of 7 with a pillar, and concluding with one 5-level pillar and two 4-level pillars.
