Port of Málaga, Port in central Málaga, Spain
The Port of Málaga covers approximately 0.44 square miles (1.15 square kilometers) and serves as a major hub for cruise ships, cargo handling, and recreational vessels along the Mediterranean coast.
Founded by Phoenician traders around 1000 BC, the port has operated continuously for over three millennia, serving as a vital export point for minerals, olive oil, and wine during Roman rule.
During the medieval Islamic period, the port became the primary trading center for Granada, exporting figs and wine, while today it welcomes approximately 700,000 cruise passengers annually.
Modern terminals handle cruise ship embarkations at the East Quay and Muelle de Levante, with passenger services including nearby parking, transport connections, and boat trips departing from Muelle Dos.
Roman storage vats for garum, a fish relish exported in large quantities during ancient times, remain visible today at the University offices located on Paseo del Parque.

Between the Mediterranean and the Andalusian hills, Malaga blends southern warmth with a thousand-year history. Birthplace of Picasso, it combines Moorish fortresses, Renaissance churches, orange-scented alleys, and avant-garde museums. The Alcazaba overlooks the city from its Moorish walls, the Roman theater recalls its origins, and the Cathedral of the Incarnation connects the centuries. Along the port, the Pompidou Center, contemporary galleries, and subtropical gardens revitalize Andalusian modernity. The stroll is slow, between white light and warm shadows, from the Atarazanas market to the views of Gibralfaro. Malaga is no longer just a seaside stopover: it is a city to explore, to see, and to feel.
