Jon Agirre, a resident of Legazpi and chef at the Goiherri restaurant, has won first prize in the "Omelette with Character Ingredient" category at the IV Spanish Potato Omelette Championship - Tescoma Award (international scope), held in Alicante.

The renowned competition took place as part of the Alicante Gastronómica fair. Agirre's creation, an excellent combination of pork ear and paprika, secured the top spot.
