[1][2][3] The first section of the line, a stretch of 33 km (21 mi) from Palamós to Flaçà via Palafrugell and La Bisbal d'Empordà, opened in 1887.

The trains transported passengers and freight, especially cork, which was exported from nearby plantations to destinations in France and beyond.

In 1928, a 14 km (8.7 mi) branch was opened to Banyoles, diverging from the main line at Pont Major [ca] in the north of Girona.

[1][2][3][4] The line was badly damaged during the Spanish Civil War, and in 1941 it was taken over by the state owned organisation Explotación de Ferrocarriles por el Estado [es].

Outside the building a platform and short stretch of roadside track has been reconstructed, and a replica of one of the line's passenger cars is displayed.
