History
The construction of the funicular was first proposed in 1912. Construction started in 1920 and after several delays, it was inaugurated in 1926. Originally, it carried both passengers and freight. In 1985, it was transferred to the Basque Government, and since 1994 it has been operated by Euskotren.{{cite magazine |title=El funicular de la Reineta |url=https://issuu.com/ingurumena/docs/16_f1115fc2f288dc |access-date=16 August 2021 |magazine=Revista del Centro de Interpretación Ambiental "Peñas Negras" |issue=16 |date=October 2006 |language=es}}
