Zarautz is a railway station in Zarautz, Basque Country, Spain. It is owned by Euskal Trenbide Sarea and operated by Euskotren. It lies on the Bilbao-San Sebastián line.

History

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 was rebuilt together with the neighboring San Pelaio station. As the new station was built at the same location as the old one, a provisional station entered service in June 2022 slightly to the east of the original one.[3] The new station entered service in 2024.[4][5]

Services

The station is served by Euskotren Trena line E1. It runs every 30 minutes (in each direction) during weekdays, and every hour during weekends.[6]
