This port is one of the oldest in the world, established by the Phoenicians in the 8th century BC.
For centuries, it was a typical “normal” port, with only practical infrastructures for loading and unloading in a rather ugly and fenced enclosure.
In 2021 it has been 10 years since that port has been reborn after a complete refurbishment, giving birth to Muelle Uno (Pier One): A modern and urban space, open to the sea and just a few metres from the historic centre of Malaga.

This beautiful urban space is very popular both day and night and is home to several restaurants and play areas with some surprises for both children and adults.

Don’t miss the Sunsets
Malaga has a free privilege 365 days a year: Its magnificent sunrises and sunsets. Depending on your location and the time, you can enjoy one or the other; Muelle Uno is ideal for a “sundowner” and enjoying this celestial spectacle.
Thanks to the mild temperatures, you can almost always do this outside.
