Eneko Goia will no longer be mayor of San Sebastian this Thursday after ten years in office. In two and a half legislatures, he has promoted several projects, some already completed and others unfinished but focused.
* Loiola Barracks
The Town Hall of Donostia-San Sebastián has purchased from the Ministry of Defence the 17 hectares of land currently occupied by the Loiola barracks. The agreement for the sale of the land was signed by the parties in December 2023 (€73.3 million), although the sale was not carried out until July 2025.
* Mole works
The works of the Mole are unfinished but focused. The train will reach the interior of the city with the addition of new stations in the center. It has been a project that has generated major disagreements and has provoked complaints from neighbors, among other things, about the inconvenience caused.
* TAV station
Steps have been taken to better connect San Sebastian with the high-speed corridor.
* Transformation of different strategic spaces of the city
The government team that has led Goia over the past ten years has transformed different spaces of the city: the multi-purpose pavilion of Illumbe, the stadium of Anoeta, the park of Bidebieta, the stretch between the Kursaal and the Boulevard or the Wind Comb.
* Neighborhood rehabilitation
For example, rehabilitation work has been carried out in the Txomin Enea neighbourhood, among other things, to make certain homes more energy-efficient.
* Housing
The municipal government has launched a number of initiatives to make housing more accessible, for example, it has promoted cooperation with the Basque Government, it has ceded land owned by the city council, it has approved bonuses for the promotion of protected housing, all to try to increase the offer .
* Sustainable tourism
The World Tourism Organization awarded San Sebastian for its "Love San Sebastian. Live Donostia" project, which places "more sustainable, authentic, balanced and people-centred" tourism.
* European "Next Generation" funds
The City Council of San Sebastián, under Goia, has proposed dozens of projects (urban infrastructure, mobility, energy, digital and ecological transition), using the European Next Generation funds.
* Challenges
Despite the progress made, housing remains one of the biggest problems in San Sebastian, a challenge that the next mayor, Jon Intxausti, will face.
In addition, other strategic projects for the city (Loiola barracks, high-speed train station, Illumbe, etc.) will be completed in the coming months or years.
