Lucia, along with her sisters Maria and Almudena, founded La Maritxu in 2021 to share their Basque culture through gastronomy, particularly their family recipe for Basque burnt cheesecake. The name ‘La Maritxu’ combines Maria’s name with a Basque suffix that signifies familiarity and affection, reflecting the love infused into their desserts. After working as an architect for five years, Lucia has now dedicated herself full-time to La Maritxu, where they serve authentic Basque cheesecakes made with high-quality ingredients.
