History edit
The station was opened in 2006, originally as a terminus on the then-incomplete Córdoba–Málaga branch of the Spanish AVE high-speed rail system. The AVE reached Málaga in 2007. In 2019, the Antequera–Granada high-speed rail line opened, providing AVE service to Granada.[4] Also in 2019, Adif began works to improve the lighting surrounding the station at a cost of €38,000.[5]
