Nopalera

Nopalera metro station is a station of the Mexico City Metro in the colonia (neighborhood) of Miguel Hidalgo and the barrio of Santa Ana Zapotitlán, in Tláhuac, Mexico City. It is an elevated station with two side platforms, served by Line 12, between Olivos and Zapotitlán metro stations. 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 pictogram for the station depicts the outline of a flowering nopal. The station was opened on 30 October 2012, on the first day of service between Tláhuac and Mixcoac metro stations.
