Altza Station
Altza is a railway station in San Sebastián, Basque Country, Spain. It is owned by Euskal Trenbide Sarea and operated by Euskotren. It lies on a branch of the San Sebastián-Hendaye railway, popularly known as Topo.

History

The station opened in September 2016, together with the tunnel that connects it with Herrera. As the opening happened during a strike, the official inauguration took place a month later on 9 October.

The station opened as a branch of the mainline, but it was planned as the first station of a new alignment between Herrera and Galtzaraborda. Works on the extension to Galtzaraborda, which will give the station continuity eastwards, started in early 2022.

Services

The station is served by Euskotren Trena line E5. It runs every 15 minutes on weekdays and weekend afternoons, and every 30 minutes on weekend mornings.
