Through a detailed narrative experienced from within, the work chronicles the technical and social milestones of their first ten years of history, from the emotion of the first constructions to the consolidation of a unique character. An essential testimony to understanding the explosion of *castells* (human towers) in the Maresme region and the legacy of a group that has transcended its own territory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book recounts the prodigious decade of the Capgrossos de Mataró, a *colla castellera* born far from the traditional zone that, over the course of the seasons, has forged a singular identity. Based on meticulous data collection, anecdotes, and memories, the key moments of their trajectory are reconstructed: the first six-story tower, the first \"carro gros,\" the reinforced eight-story tower, the first *aleta* (climax) of a nine-story castle, or the \"magic triples\" in the country's best plazas. Additionally, the work includes a brief study that contextualizes the *casteller* precedents in the Maresme region, offering a complete vision of the phenomenon. With the intensity of those who have lived the day-to-day life of the group, the text aims to bring the reader—whether *casteller* or neophyte—the sensations of vibrant and unique seasons, looking back at the past with pride.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eHistory of the Capgrossos de Mataró *colla castellera* (1996-2006).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eTechnical and social evolution of *castells* in the Maresme.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAnalysis of *casteller* milestones: six, seven, eight, and nine-story towers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eHistorical context of the *casteller* tradition in the region.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eInternal testimony of the life of a group and its impact on the city.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at enthusiasts of the *casteller* world, especially those interested in the recent history of the groups and the development of *castells* outside traditional zones.
