Fred. Olsen S. A. opens La Zula restaurant in La Gomera

Fred. Olsen S. A. has inaugurated La Zula, a new gastronomic space in Agulo, La Gomera. Following a ten-month comprehensive renovation, the restaurant aims to highlight local products and the island's culinary traditions through a modern lens.

The official opening ceremony was attended by several local officials, including the President of the Cabildo Insular de La Gomera, Casimiro Curbelo, and the Mayor of Agulo, Rosa María Chinea. The project is part of Fred. Olsen S. A.'s broader culinary presence on the island, which includes existing restaurants and golf facilities.

While the investment is noted for generating local activity, the official nature of the inauguration has prompted local debate regarding the boundaries between public representation and private enterprise. Critics have raised questions about the appropriateness of high-ranking officials participating in the formal opening of a private business that received no public funding.
