The ambition of Castellers de Vilafranca seems to have no ceiling. The group has written a new chapter in the history of the castellar world on All Saints day by loading the 9 of 9 with lining for the first time in history, a construction that no one had attempted before.
They have done it with a single enxaneta, which has made it extremely difficult, since the initial plan for this castle is to load it with three simultaneous enxanetas.
By making the third fin, the castle has given way. The core of the construction, which is estimated to weigh more than 12,000 kilos, consists of about 500 people and is made up of 190 human towers. The goal has aroused great expectation in a square filled to the brim with nearly 6,000 people.
The unpublished 9 de 9 has arrived after the greens have unloaded another great castle of extra range: the 3 de 10 with lining and handcuffs. Previously, the Capgrossos de Mataró have polished the tower of 9 in handcuffs, while the Xiquets of Tarragona have completed 7 of 8 and the Castellers of Sants 4 of 8.
