130 years of electric mobility in the Basque Country

Historically, Euskadi is the entire peninsula’s undisputed leader of electric mobility. The State’s first electric tram ran between Bilbao and Santurtzi in 1896, and also the first electric train operated on Mount Ulía in 1902. Euskotren is still operating the peninsula’s oldest electrified rail routing, between Amara and Loiola stations in Donostia. The line was electrified 116 years ago in 1903.
