Hydroo, the strength of a team

In ancestral times, possibly in the 15th century, the “moixigangues” and “muixerangues” existed, especially in La Safor, L'Horta Sud, Ribera Baixa, Ribera Alta or L'Horta Nord counties. Further north, the tradition continued in Plana Alta, Baix Camp and Tarragonès counties among many others. In modern times, the religious, folkloric and plastic sense of the dance came to focus on the construction of human castles in height, which is the form that has mostly lasted and whose cultural interest has been recognized with the declaration of Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO on November 16, 2010. The “Castells” are therefore a deeply rooted tradition in our country and have currently been exported to many other countries in Europe (Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden, Denmark, United Kingdom, France and Spain) but also to the rest of the world (Chile, China and Canada).

The Coordinator of Colles Castelleres de Catalunya is a Sports Federation that brings together some 83 colles castelleres from Catalonia, Northern Catalonia and the Balearic Islands, considered leaders with the capacity to build a minimum of 6 floors (counted as was traditionally done in the “muixerangues”) with nearly 15,000 participants.

Castellers are an unequivocal symbol of value, tenacity, strength and balance but also of wisdom and at the same time of tradition that is rooted in the culture and history of the country. That is why Hydroo feels represented by this cultural manifestation and invites us to export it around the world. At Hydroo we are a team that works tenaciously, with a shared, coordinated force and that with wisdom and courage, aims to reach the greatest heights, regardless of the position of each of the team members. The one who climbs the highest is not the bravest, nor the oldest, nor the one who has the most knowledge: it is the one who, according to the wisdom of the whole team, corresponds to him and can make him enjoy the achievement of the goal of climbing to the top of everything. The “anxaneta” is therefore the symbol, it is the excuse to make the whole team feel proud. At the same time, the “pinya” are not anonymous companions, but rather all those who can contribute to the collective success with their strength and concentration.

Hydroo has its own “colla castellera”, dressed in the corporate colors (black, white and copper) that define us. And with this symbol we want to show the world our joy of being and sharing the universal values ​​that we have made our own.
