The Castellón City Council and Gimecons are promoting the transformation of the Central Market to make it a benchmark

The complete renovation of Castellón's Central Market is now a reality. Mayor Begoña Carrasco signed the contract to begin the works at a public ceremony held in the Plaza Mayor, accompanied by representatives of the winning consortium, formed by Gimecons and Telecso, including Jorge Cubero and Pablo Pons.

The event also included the participation of vendors from the Central Market, led by the president of their association, Sonia Castillo, and the manager, José Luis Hernández, as well as several councilors from the Castellón City Council and municipal technicians.

With an investment of nearly 10 million euros, co-financed through the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), the market renovation seeks to transform the space into a gastronomic, tourist and commercial benchmark, following the model of other major European markets.

The mayor wanted to especially acknowledge the role of the winning companies: "It gives a guarantee that you are people from Castellón, because I know that you will put your heart, soul and hands into this project."
