The casteller group Els Malfargats de Pallars celebrated a complete performance day in Tremp, successfully building several castells and pillars, demonstrating significant progress towards larger structures.

The event began with the traditional opening pillars, where both participating groups successfully completed a 4-tier pillar. In the first round, the host group, Malfargats de Pallars, managed to complete a 3 of 6 with agulla, while the group from Santpedor completed a 4 of 6.
During the second round, the Malfargats attempted a 4 of 6 which, unfortunately, resulted in a dismantled attempt. However, they had a repeat round where they successfully completed it. Meanwhile, the castellers from Santpedor agilely completed a 3 of 6.
The third round was significant for Malfargats de Pallars, as they brought a 3 of 7 to the square for the first time, which ultimately ended in a dismantled attempt. After a repetition, they opted for a 3 of 6, which they completed without issues. The group from Bages completed a 3 of 6 with agulla in the same round.
The casteller day concluded with the classic simultaneous exit pillars, where both groups completed two 4-tier pillars. This performance represents a step forward for Malfargats de Pallars in their goal of achieving 7-tier castells.
The group's next engagement will be at the Festa Major de Mollerussa, where they will perform with the Margeners de Guissona. Additionally, throughout the month of May, they will participate in an exhibition dedicated to the acts of Pare Manyanet, which will take place in Tremp on Saturday, May 16.
