Identity of a town

If wine is the palpable element of the identity of our people, culture is an immaterial good of great value.

There are many musical and cultural associations, festivals and events that combine the elements of Canary culture, to shape the way of life from the ancestors of Santa Úrsula to the present.

Immerse yourself in Santa Úrsula, mingle with its people in the guachinches, try to live its culture and feel its folklore, traditions and customs, which shape our local identity.

From Tradition to the Present

More than 400 years of history have given rise to a huge festive calendar, where the traditional blends with the modern.

To participate in the festivities of Santa Úrsula means to participate in our common history, from the largest festivals, such as that of Saint Ursula and Our Lady of the Rosary, Saint Louis in El Calvario or Saint Bartholomew in La Corujera, to the more recent ones, such as the Pilgrimage of La Corujera and Saint Clement in El Farrobillo. You can experience exceptional moments; our people will make visitors feel at home and you will get to know unique places by participating in our festivities.
