4TH GASTRONOMIC EVENT IN ONE OF THE MOST SPECIAL BARS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD: URKIOLA

The 4th Emaitza event was held this past tuesday, january 21, at the Urkiola bar in the Plaza Corazón de María in the San Francisco district. Ana, the owner of the premises, is a professional worker and conscientious about social projects of social transformation and literally, she made an effort to make the event a success.

The project’s companions entered the kitchen of Claret Enea the day before the event, and were assisted by Celia Macias, a catalan chef who lit the stove with her energy, professionalism and love to continue building supports for individual and collective empowerment.

The event began at 19:00, with the presentation of Leire Abaigar, Errotik‘s partner. Emaitza is a project of social and labour insertion created by the team of the Errotik feminist cooperative. This project has been created from innovation and aims at social transformation and inclusion of vulnerable migrant women.

The menu: a varied sensory experience that is worth tasting repeatedly. The drink: beer (with alcohol, without it, with lemon or without gluten), wine (white and red, for all the public) and water, a lot of water.

After the catering the cooks were praised on numerous occasions by a grateful audience. Loide A. Gomez’s performance was a good dessert, sweet as Manuela’s and so rich in awareness and laughter. Impossible to forget its taste. We can’t tell you too much, we would like you to experience it in your own skin, but we will tell you that the negative energies have not appeared this week and that they have been eaten by ‘the egg’. We spoil you a little:

The availability of projects close to ours and their support was, as always, fundamental for the event to go smoothly and simply, like the best of relationships. We would like to thank Claret Enea from the bottom of our hearts, for lending us the comfortable kitchen where the creation of the elaborate and sustainable menu made possible by Emaitza’s companions. Thanks to Sustraiak Catering, Sarean and the Food Bank of Bizkaia for all the support and availability to us.

The network that we have formed in the neighbourhood and those that are to come are the best dishes on a menu as diverse as life itself.

What a great team… and may it continue to grow!
