More Santa Tecla
... programme highlight was the Cercavilla de la Santa Tecla Petita, a parade ending up at the ayuntament consisting of the beasts of the Seguici Popular and many folklore based groups including the Ball de Diables Petits, the Cucaferata, the Ball de Gitanetes, the Colla Petita de Xiquets de Tarragona and one of our favourites, the Ball de Patatuf Petitet.
