 That relatively new moment, in spite of the fact that the writer [[Rafael d’Amat, Baron of Maldà]], regretted its absence as early as year 1794, will become essential in the festivities of Santa Tecla.In his novel entitled "La familia dels Garrigas", [[Josep Pin i Soler]] makes a magnificent description of the festivity in the middle of the 19th century.At that time, besides the performances and elements that still survived from the [[Middle Ages]], the extremely significant role played by the groups of human towers was undeniable, and the same applies to the activities that nowadays are essential, such as the Matinades (Early Mornings), with the grallers and the drummers, or the [[fireworks]] display of the celebration day of Santa Tecla, or even activities which remain more unknown such as the general chiming of the [[Church bell|bells]] or the chanting of the goigs, in the [[Cathedral]].
