Malaga City Port Spain Sunny Day February 2024 Update Costa del Sol | Andalucía [4K]60fps 

The port of Málaga is in international seaport, and a popular fishing port. It is the oldest one of this kind operating in Spain. The port is in a natural bay, well protected by the shape of coastline; it is situated on the edge of the historic cultural centre, and has access to all of the city's beaches via the Promenade Pablo Ruiz Picasso. It is the second most important port in Spain for cruise passengers; and is currently undergoing huge renovations.
The port was founded by the Phoenicians in 1000 B.C. - under Roman rule, Málaga prospered as a trading port, with exports of iron, copper and lead from the mines in nearby Ronda, they also exported olive oil, wine and garum (a relish of pickled fish). The Garum storage vats of a Roman sea factory can be seen insitu in the University offices on Paseo del Parque. In 711 A.D. the Moors invaded, and Málaga became a major Moorish city and port - it was the main port for Granada too, famed for exports of Figs and Wine. Under the Habsburg Empire it became of Europe's biggest manufacturing ports. The East Dock was added in 1720, along with the New Quay, and in 1814 the first lighthouse was built. In 1910 first passenger terminal was built, and in 1920 the Málaga Puertollano pipeline was built, allowing olive oil to be exported directly from the port.
The port has 10 quays that are currently in use, for cruise ships, ferries, cargo ships and recreational boats. The main use is for bulk liquid imports, and cruises; approximately 700,000 passengers pass through Málaga port each year, on 220 different cruise liners. Quay 2 and the Eastern Quay are both used for passenger cruise ships.
The area is still known as a popular fishing port; it also has recreational areas for sailing and surfing, and is used for firework displays on national holidays.
Muelle Uno Sea Shopping on Quay 1 opened in
December 2011. This 80-million-euro 14,000 sam
recreation and commerce centre, with underground
parking for 1,000, has 70 shops, bars and
restaurants, plus children's play areas; it also
features a marina for mega-yachts - recreational
vessels up to 30m long.
Quay was redesigned by architects Jerónimo Junquera and Liliana Obal, who won an international architectural competition to design the area. They converted the quay into El Palmeral de las Surpresas (The Palm Grove of Surprises) - a promenade lined on one side with palm trees, and a central overhead curved concrete subshade or pergola with views to the port. Small boats and smaller cruise ships can use Muele Dos as a dock and terminal. Sometimes this area is also called Muelle Uno. Boat trips and sunset cruises depart from Muelle Dos.
Muelle 3 is the less than glamorous dock for the
regular car ferry service to Melilla and Morocco. There is an old concrete treminal with ticket office, departure lounge and overhead walkways for the foot pasengers to join the ferry.
