On Fairs Sunday, Plaça de la Vila changes engines and tractors for logs and sash. The three local gangs — Castellers de Vilafranca, Xicots and Colla Jove — climb seven- and eight-story castles to demonstrate fitness before the summer. The performance, born as a fair claim, is today a thermometer of the season and a moment of Castellera brotherhood.
The public combines tastings of the fair with emotions in the square, and feels the touch of gralles as an ancestral call between stands of technological innovation. The results usually set expectations for San Félix, so the day is analyzed with a magnifying glass by the fans.
The combination of trade fair and castles reminds us that, in Vilafranca, business and tradition have always gone hand in hand.
