History edit

The station opened in 1895 as part of the San Sebastián-Zarautz stretch of the San Sebastián-Elgoibar railway. The line was extended to Deba in 1901.[2] Starting in 2022, the station will be rebuilt together with the neighboring San Pelaio station. As the new station will be in the same location as the old one, a provisional station entered service in June 2022 slightly to the east of the original one.[3]

Services edit

The station is served by Euskotren Trena line E1. It runs every 30 minutes (in each direction) during weekdays, and every hour during weekends.[4]
