The new market in Laudio, named Azoka Plaza, has officially opened its doors following a project conceived in the previous term and initiated in May 2024. Overcoming funding challenges and issues with the temporary infrastructure, the new market provides an adapted space for the three vendors from the previous square, with two additional stalls: a second fishmonger and a stall for the Ekintza association.
The Laudio City Council has emphasized that this project reaffirms its commitment to promoting the primary sector, local trade, and proximity consumption. The presence of the Ekintza association, which brings together local agroecological producers, is a significant novelty, and their products will now be available directly in Laudio.
“"With this project, we aim to strengthen the primary sector, local trade, and proximity consumption, reinforcing our economy and our identity. At the same time, the renovated space will offer an opportunity to value the work of local producers and foster relationships between citizens and producers, uniting commerce, gastronomy, and the primary sector."
The inauguration events will extend until Sunday. This afternoon, Jakoba Errekondo will give a talk related to the primary sector, local production, and responsible consumption, followed by a concert by the Gauargi romeria band. On Friday, Porrotx, Marimotots, Pupu eta Lore will perform, and on Saturday, a Show cooking session will take place at the market itself. On Sunday, a new event for the Laudio Bidelagun initiative will be held with members of Apdem, and in the afternoon, the San Roke Music Society will offer a concert.
