The Castellers de Vilafranca have presented their 2026 season roadmap in Vilafranca del Penedès, aiming to reclaim victory at the Sant Fèlix festival and the Tarragona Human Tower Competition.

The group's leader, Àngel Grau, and president Ernest Gallart outlined the main challenges for the upcoming year. A key date will be June 14th, when the group will perform in Girona for the first time in its history. They intend to showcase high-level 'gamma extra' towers during this debut.

"We want to be competitive in every square we visit and deliver our best performance."
