Nopalera metro station
Nopalera is a station on Line 12 of the Mexico City Metro.[1] The station is located between Olivos and Zapotitlán. It was opened on 30 October 2012 as a part of the first stretch of Line 12 between Mixcoac and Tláhuac.[1]
The station is located southeast of the city center, at the intersection between Avenida Tlahuac and Caille Arabella. It is built above the ground.
The name of the station alludes to the numerous pig and poultry farms that used to occupy the area, and to the nopal cactuses that used to grow on their fields. Similarly, the icon for the station depicts the outline of a flowering nopal.[2]
