Just a stone's throw away from Malaga’s historic centre lies the oldest continuously operated port in Spain. With remarkable views over the Mediterranean, the Port of Malaga has become a hot spot for commercial ships and luxury cruise liners from all over the globe. Its rich history dating back to ancient times has shaped it into the thriving destination it is today, offering an array of snazzy facilities including boutiques, ice cream parlours and children’s playgrounds.

For an escape from the old town’s cobbled streets and bustling tapas bars, the port offers a wide selection of restaurants – the perfect place for al fresco dining. After dinner, you can enjoy a catamaran tour around the Bay of Malaga and watch the sun go down as you glide over the azure waters.

For those seeking a cultural experience, the world-renowned Pompidou Centre sits in the heart of the port. Housed in a colourful glass cube, it boasts an impressive collection of modern and contemporary art, featuring works by some of the most celebrated artists of the 20th and 21st centuries. The museum also hosts a variety of temporary exhibitions throughout the year, making it a must-visit for art enthusiasts.
