La Degollada is a small town with more than three centuries of history that was born between the Atalaya de Femés volcano to the south and the Cabo mountain to the north.
It is a small agricultural town that preserves the tradition of white houses on a height and, being a valley, is surrounded by mountains that are usually traveled by friends of hiking in Lanzarote. .
It is a quiet space that has been preserved over the centuries with the strength of its less than 100 inhabitants.
The festivities of La Degollada are celebrated in the first week of October. During the celebrations, residents of this historic town hold an Envite championship and enjoy good music with local folk groups.
The festivities end, as is tradition, celebrating a solemn mass in honor of the Virgen de la Victoria, patron saint of La Degollada.
In the Canary Islands, a degollada is a 'passage between two heights', that is, a depression in the ground between two cliffs or in the line of a ridge, where the steps from one ravine to another ravine or from one slope to another slope are usually traced spontaneously.
It is a very common toponym in all the Islands, even if it is Lanzarote, precisely because of its particular geomorphology, the one with the least number of Degolladas in its toponymy.
