The Malaga metro will run at half its usual frequency this Friday afternoon due to the strike.

It's the second day of partial strike by the workers of the concessionaire company Metro de Málaga. This Friday, March 20th, the strikes are scheduled between 7:00 PM and 9:00 PM. Therefore, the government has decreed a minimum service of 50% during this time interval, which coincides with the time when many people from Málaga will head from the neighborhoods towards the Center and other points of interest to attend the Holy Week processions.

Outside this interval, commercial operations will proceed as normal. "Metro de Málaga recommends travelers to plan their trips in advance, especially during the evening when the minimum service resolution anticipates significant demand, coinciding with Lenten Friday and the celebration of Holy Week events in the Historic Center, especially the popular image transfers.

Strike during Holy Week

But the worst is yet to come. If no agreement is reached beforehand, a broad schedule of partial strikes has been called during Holy Week, affecting the days and hours with the highest accumulation of passengers heading to the Center to attend the processions.
