We Are Ready for Our Castells Baptism!

June 6th, 2022 is Whit Monday, a bank holiday in Germany, and we are travelling to Cologne for an event which was already planned for 2020 but had to be cancelled due to the pandemic.

Now the time has come! We are finally meeting our godparents Castellers de la Vila de Gràcia to celebrate our castells baptism. And we are doing so in the most dramatic setting: in front of the Cologne Cathedral!

On the other hand, we have been invited by the Katalanischen Kulturzentrums Köln to take part in the 3xUNESCO event in Rhineland. UNESCO World Heritages will be an important part of the trip since we are also meeting the Cologne Carnival group Altstädter —a UNESCO World Heritage just like castells and the Cologne Cathedral.
