The catering school years[edit]

In 1976, Irizar opened the Escuela de Hostelería del Hotel EuromarinZarautz, then the first catering school in the Basque Country. This school over the years has produced some of the most renowned chefs of the new Basque cuisine movement in the Basque Country, amongst them Karlos Arguiñano, José Ramón Elizondo, Ramón Roteta, and Pedro Subijana.
