Currently, El Perchel is a terminus station, and the only station serving both lines of the metro. Line 1 reaches Andalucia Tech, while Line 2 ends at Palacio de Deportes José María Martín Carpena. Entrances to El Perchel are located outside Málaga María Zambrano railway station, where AVE high-speed rail services, regional trains and local Cercanías trains to Fuengirola and Álora can be accessed.
El Perchel is to become a through-station, as an extension further into the city centre with two underground stops, Guadalmedina and Atarazanas, is under construction and due to open in 2022.[2]
