The station belongs to the Rio Tinto railway and throughout its history it was used as a siding for the crossing of the mining trains that circulated between Rio Tinto and Huelva, with the aim of regulating traffic in this area. It is currently used as a stop for the tourist train that runs along the Talleres Mina-Los Frailes section.

Mountain biking

One of the most visited elements of the Riotinto Mining Park. Along the way you can see the transformation of the landscape for mining, an activity that goes back centuries. You can also see the abandoned mining villages and at the end of the tour there is a stop next to the Tinto river, in a spectacular landscape. Train tours using a steam locomotive are offered during the colder months.
