El Perchel is an underground station serving Lines 1 and 2 of the Málaga Metro. The station opened on 30 July 2014, and until 2023 was the city centre terminus for both lines.[1]
Services
[edit]At the metro's 2014 opening, El Perchel was a terminus station, and the only station serving both lines of the metro. Line 1 reaches Andalucia Tech, while Line 2 ends at Palacio de Deportes José María Martín Carpena. Entrances to El Perchel are located outside Málaga María Zambrano railway station, where AVE high-speed rail services, regional trains and local Cercanías trains to Fuengirola and Álora can be accessed.
In 2023, El Perchel became a through-station when the extension further into the city centre opened, serving two underground stops at Guadalmedina and Atarazanas.
