The port is located in the heart of the city of Malaga, just a few meters from the famous Larios Street, close to the city's monuments and museums. The closest is the Alborania Aula del Mar Museum, housed in a modern glass building that houses marine species, aquariums and exhibitions.
The Port of Malaga is one of the oldest ports in the world, around three thousand years old, although it has undergone a major remodeling over the last ten years, where two projects have been carried out in the port and the areas around it, the expansion project and the port-city project, with the aim of meeting citizen and port demand. More than 700,000 cruise passengers arrive at the port of Malaga on 220 cruise ships from all over the world.
The two major projects to date have been the opening of Muelle Uno and Muelle Dos.
Muel Uno opened in late 2011. It has 14,000 m2 of shopping and restaurant area, as well as an underground car park with a thousand parking spaces. In the most exclusive area of Muelle Uno is the restaurant of Michelin star chef Jose Carlos García, next to the port chapel. It also has a marina for recreational boats known as "Ricardo Gross."
Muelle Dos is perpendicular to Muelle Uno, designed by architect Jerónimo Junquera. A relaxing stroll through the innovatively designed Palmeral de las Sorpresas, with gardens, various children's areas, fun fountains and activities to keep children entertained for hours. The green area is made up of the 420 palm trees that give the Palmeral its name, and the 7,400 tropical trees and plants.
The Port of Malaga has been chosen as the home of the Pompidou Museum in Paris. The Cubo del Muelle Uno, a modern glass building, will become a museum with works of art loaned by the Parisian museum.
There are countless leisure options in this part of the city: restaurants, bars, ice cream parlours and cafés. Children's playgrounds, bicycle rentals, segways, activity centre (with mini golf), maritime museum with aquarium (Aula del Mar) and around thirty shops, as well as a boat trip around the port of Malaga
Although the port of Malaga is much larger and has more docks, docks one and two are the most visited by both the citizens of Malaga and its visitors, being one of the jewels of the city.
