The town of Los Ancones closed last Sunday, August 21, its patron saint festivities in honor of the Virgen de La Candelaria. Some festivities that began on August 13 with the proclamation of Emilia Machín, and that the popular meal, the water verbena and the VIII “Achipenco Launching” put the finishing touch to the festive weeks. 

One of the strongest events that took place in the town was the “marine pilgrimage” with the procession of the town's patron saint, brought by the neighbors from Tenerife. In addition, there was also the night of revelry “Juanito and Guillermina”, with the performances of the folk group from the municipality of Teguise “Guagime” and the Tenerife singer, Pepe Benavente.

There was no lack of offering to the virgin, whose detail was taken by the Cedrés family, while the board of directors of the neighborhood association “Las Velas” was in charge of delivering it to Cáritas Lanzarote.

Another of the highlights was the famous children's and adult playback “Las Enriscadas”. The act filled the seats in the festival tent, where there was no shortage of choreographic dances, singers and sketches by the famous “Quintana brothers”.

The opening of the playback was in charge of the group of dance girls from Tinajo, where the girls from the children's playback from Tahíche also participated. At the end of the playback, the XII Sábana Festival was celebrated, enlivened by DJ Miguel Pérez. 

The board of directors of the neighborhood association “Las Velas” thanks the participation and collaboration of all the neighbors, companies, security and emergency group, the volunteer firefighters “Boluntis” and the Teguise City Council.
