Train Station in Cartama

The Estación de Cártama (Cartama Station) is named after the railway station built in 1863 by the Córdoba to Málaga Railway Company. Today, it is on the C-2 Cercanías Málaga line, serving commuter services. A village grew around the station, also called Estación de Cártama. The complication is that Estación de Cártama is located on the other side of the Guadalhorce River. Between 1927 and 1931, the Iron Bridge (Puente de Hierro) was built to connect the station with Cártama Pueblo. The bridge was restored in 2001 and re-illuminated in 2006. The bridge symbolizes the connection between the old and new towns.
