The Larreineta funicular (Basque: Larreinetako funikularra; Spanish: Funicular de Larreineta) is a funicular railway in the municipality of Valle de Trápaga-Trapagaran in the Basque Country, Spain. It links the downtown with the neighborhood of Larreineta.
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.[2]
