The station is located at kilometer 36.5 of the Iberian gauge railway that connects Monforte de Lemos with Redondela at an altitude of 118 meters, between the Los Peares and Orense-Empalme stations . The section is single track and electrified.

The station was inaugurated on December 1, 1884 with the opening of the Monforte de Lemos - Orense section of the line that linked Vigo with Monforte de Lemos. [ 2 ] Its initial exploitation was in charge of the Company of the Railroad from Medina to Zamora and from Orense to Vigo . This management was maintained until 1928 when it was absorbed by the Compañía Nacional de los Ferrocarriles del Oeste de España, a public company created to manage several routes, in general with deficits, in the west of the country. In 1941, Oeste was one of the companies that joined the recently created RENFE .

Since December 31, 2004, Renfe Operadora has operated the line while Adif is the owner of the railway facilities.
