About Puerto de Málaga and Muelle Uno
The regenerated historic port of Málaga, featuring the landmark Muelle Uno waterfront development with restaurants, bars, and the Centre Pompidou Málaga, the transparent glass cube housing the first museum outside France dedicated to the Pompidou collection, with a spectacular view of the harbour and the Alcazaba above.
The Puerto de Málaga has been transformed over the past two decades from a working commercial port into one of the most attractive waterfronts in Spain. The Muelle Uno development, a pier extending into the harbour, has been converted into a promenade of restaurants, bars, and cultural spaces. The most significant addition is the Centre Pompidou Málaga, opened in 2015 in a striking transparent glass cube on the waterfront: the first Pompidou outpost outside France, displaying rotating selections from the Pompidou collection's vast holdings of 20th and 21st century art. The entire waterfront area offers spectacular views of the harbour, the Alcazaba, and the Castillo de Gibralfaro.
Did you know? The Centre Pompidou Málaga is a temporary institution, it was initially agreed for a 5-year period from 2015, with the agreement subsequently renewed. The "cube" building on the waterfront is not a permanent structure but a temporary installation. This unusual arrangement reflects the Pompidou's experimental approach to extending its international reach, and it has been sufficiently successful that the arrangement has been extended several times.
