The President of the Junta de Andalucía, Juanma Moreno, has announced the creation of a digital entrepreneurship and training center in the building provided on Calle Alcalá in the municipality of Baeza, Jaén, which has received an investment of nearly half a million euros through the Andalusian Digital Agency. «We are talking about a total investment of over one million euros for the next four years.»
Moreno, who visited the City Hall of Baeza, where he met with the mayor, Pedro Cabrera, asserted that this opens a new opportunity for this Cordovan municipality to continue growing and unleashing its potential.
Additionally, he mentioned that this month forty-five unemployed young people under thirty have completed their training, thanks to the Employment and Training program of the Junta, where they specialized for a year and were employed, receiving the minimum wage. «This program was managed by the City Council with a grant of over one million euros from the Junta.»
He also referred to other improvements in Baeza, such as the grant of 75,000 euros to restore a section of the wall, repair the Museum of the Atarazanas, and commission a monument in honor of Pablo de Olavide for the 300th anniversary of his birth.

Likewise, he mentioned the Touristic Sustainability Plans in Destination that have allocated over 31 million in the province, around 2.3 million directly to Baeza, through which various projects are being developed, such as the improvement of the San Francisco Auditorium and greater tourism professionalism.
The Andalusian President indicated that, as a Andalusian Tourist Municipality, Baeza has received a grant of just over 100,000 euros to turn its Market of Abastos into a Gastronomic Market.
He also highlighted that Baeza is synonymous with the most recognized EVOO, a cornerstone of Andalusian exports, which is why the Andalusian Government has approved ten modernization projects for six of its thirteen oil mills since 2019, while creating the distinct brand ‘Gusto del Sur’ to distinguish the quality of its products.

At this point, he emphasized that this year there has been the free transfer, for fifty years, of up to seven properties owned by the Junta to this City Council, and highlighted the gastronomic excellence of Baeza, for which training is essential, mentioning the School of Hospitality Training Hacienda La Laguna, attached to the Andalusian Employment Service.

In this regard, he highlighted that this prestigious gastronomic center is generating employment in a sector in demand and contributing to enhancing the reputation of the brand Baeza and Andalusia worldwide.
In conclusion, he emphasized that the support for this municipality is also reflected in the 1.2 million invested in the comprehensive renovation of the Health Center, the commissioning of the West link of the Olive Highway worth 500,000 euros, and the access from the A-316, which will soon become a reality, with the initiation order already in place to tender the drafting of the project, with the execution costs reaching up to seven million.
