The Department of Mobility, Tourism and Territorial Planning has reaffirmed its commitment to the regeneration of Pasaia by allocating €400,000 for maintenance and conservation work in public spaces. Deputy Azahara Domínguez stated that her department will sign a collaboration agreement with the Pasaia Town Council to finance various conservation and maintenance activities in port areas designated for public use.
The planned works include repairs, lighting, cleaning, and gardening, as well as other maintenance activities in locations such as the square and roof of the fish market, the roofs of the La Herrera warehouses, the Hospitalillo dock, the San Pedro dock, the Torreatze-Ondartxo-Puntas area, and the Bizkaia square.
Domínguez emphasised that this agreement is part of her department's commitment to the regeneration of Pasaialdea. She noted that the goal is to “continue promoting a comprehensive programme that allows for the rehabilitation and recovery of degraded urban spaces and facilities, responding to the needs of citizens and contributing to territorial development and the well-being of the population.” This initiative is framed within a broader perspective of economic, urban, social, and cultural regeneration.
The deputy also highlighted that this funding complements other subsidies provided by the Provincial Council, such as those for maintaining the Hospitalillo car park, which also receives regional financing. “These investments have a direct impact on the quality of life for the residents of Pasaia, allowing for the recovery and enhancement of spaces that were previously inaccessible due to their port nature and are now open for public use and enjoyment. The fish market, with its square and roof, the pedestrian promenade of Trintxerpe, and the Ondartxo promenade are examples of this transformation,” she stated.
“The regeneration of Pasaia is a firm commitment that requires continuity, institutional collaboration, and sustained investment over time. It is not just about recovering spaces and improving infrastructure, but about moving towards a more friendly, accessible, and liveable municipality, with more job opportunities and a strong economic and social fabric. We have made significant progress, but there are still important challenges ahead. Therefore, we will continue to engage in projects that contribute to the urban, economic, and social transformation of Pasaia, translating into real improvements for its residents. Investing in the regeneration of Pasaia is investing in its future,” concluded Azahara Domínguez.
