Espacio de Creación Contemporánea (ECCO) is a place in the city Cádiz sponsored by the City Council and designed for the creation, exhibition, production, experimentation and education on the subject of contemporary art.

The centre is divided into two zones. The first is a permanent exhibition by the couple of artists “Costus” known historically for being part of the Madrid scene in the 1980s and is considered the centre's gem The second exhibition space is found in the top floor. There we find different temporary exhibitions. The facilities also include a lobby and a garden courtyard with 300 square metres where various events are held.
