Institutoa is a railway station in Gernika, Basque Country, Spain. It is owned by Euskal Trenbide Sarea and operated by Euskotren. It lies on the Urdaibai line.

History

[edit]

The current station was built by FEVE (the operator of the line at the time) in 1969 to serve a high school in the area. A halt had been built in the same location in 1938 to serve a nearby hospital-prison.[2]

Services

[edit]

The station is served by Euskotren Trena line E4. It runs every 30 minutes (in each direction) during weekdays, and every hour during weekends.[3]
