The Basque Culinary Center will build a second headquarters in Donostia

  • The Gastronomy Open Ecosystem project of the future BCC is planned to build a headquarters on a municipal plot located in the neighborhood of Gros. Last week, Mayor Eneko Goia launched a process for this, and EH Bildu de Donostia-San Sebastián has been against it, as there was a project in this area to build apartments for young and old people.

The Basque Culinary Center has just turned 10 years. On the occasion of this anniversary, the institution has presented its strategic plan for the coming years. It shows the intention to create an international “ecosystem of reference”. To this end, they intend to attract and develop entrepreneurial talent and startups through the Gastronomy Open Ecosystem (Goe) project.

The Basque Culinary Center will build a new headquarters to locate the project. The mayor of Donostia-San Sebastian, Eneko Goia, announced last week that his headquarters will be located in the Gros neighborhood, opposite the Zubiri Manteo Institute and in a 5,500 square meter plot located next to the Okendo House of Culture. In this regard, they have pointed out that the BCC headquarters in Miramón will have "very different" characteristics than the current ones.

EH Bildu is against

In a note published this Tuesday, EH Bildu de Donostia-San Sebastian has demonstrated against the new BCC headquarters being installed in the Okendo-Alde de de Gros area, considering that the neighborhood “will not do more” the problems it currently has.

The coalition stresses that many of Gros’s neighbours, especially young people, are forced to leave because they do not have access to decent housing. At the same time, they have denounced that there are more and more tourist apartments and hotels.

In the statement, EH Bildu denounces the municipal government's public policies for the neighborhood, saying that the tourist process is intensifying and the neighbors are being eliminated: “There is no logic in the fact that the project originally planned in Okendo-Alde (apartments for youth and seniors) is rejected and that this municipal land is located in the second seat of the Basque Culinary Center. Even less if we take into account that very close, the Municipal Government has approved the conversion of two buildings that until now had been educational centers (Heart of Mary and Immaculate College) in hotels”.
