Despite the sparse population in the area, the construction of at least a halt was necessary due to technical reasons.[1] The erection of a station near the tiny hamlet of Otero de Sanabria was thus decided.[1] The work was tendered on 10 October 2017.[2] Building works started by June 2018.[3] It consists of two platforms 416 meters long and seven meters wide.[4] The station was inaugurated by Minister Raquel Sánchez on 22 July 2021.[5] It brings the Comarca of Sanabria to about an hour and 50 minutes from Madrid.[4] Located not far from the Portuguese border, it may also be able to serve the Portuguese city of Bragança.[6]
