Santa Tecla Festival

Ladies and gents, brace yourselves for Tarragona’s biggest bash of the year, the Fiestas de Santa Tecla! A fest so lively, even the statues seem to dance! From dragons breathing fire to devils playing with fireworks, Tarragona doesn’t just throw a party; it sets the stage for an epic theatrical showdown.

But wait, there’s more! Ever seen a skyscraper made of humans? No? Then you’ve never witnessed Tarragona’s iconic human towers! Watch in awe as groups, or ‘colles’, stack up, layer upon layer, reaching for the heavens. It’s like playing Jenga, but with people! A display of sheer willpower, balance, and, of course, a little touch of Tarragonan magic.

So, whether you’re a thrill-seeker, a dance enthusiast, or just someone who loves a grand spectacle, Santa Tecla is your VIP pass to experience Spanish tradition at its best. Don your festive hats, brush up on your tower-building skills, and let Santa Tecla’s spirit whisk you away into a whirlwind of fun and frolic!
