History

The station opened in 1912 as part of the San Sebastián-Hendaye railway. The station was built in a viaduct as otherwise six level crossings would have been required in the town.[2]

As part of the new alignment of the line between Herrera and Galtzaraborda, the station will be rebuilt underground, south of its current location. Works started in early 2022 and their completion is scheduled for 2027.[3] The elevated station will be demolished after the new station enters service.[4]

Services

The station is served by Euskotren Trena line E2. It runs every 15 minutes during weekdays and weekend afternoons, and every 30 minutes on weekend mornings.[5]
