Port Of Málaga
The Port of Málaga is an international seaport located in the city of Málaga in southern Spain, on the Costa del Sol coast of the Mediterranean. It is the oldest continuously-operated port in Spain and one of the oldest in the Mediterranean. Principal port activities include cruise shipping and the importation of containerised manufactured products, break bulk and vehicles. A small fishing fleet also operates from the port. History Ancient and medieval times The Port of Malaga was founded by Phoenicians from Tyre in around 1000 BC. The name Malaka is probably derived from the Phoenician word for ''salt'' because fish was salted on the first dock; in other Semitic languages the word for ''salt'' is still Hebrew מלח ''mélaḥ'' or Arabic ملح ''milḥ''. This first dock was a single waterfront quay parallel to the shore and extending for about 500 metres from the customs house to the Puerta Oscura. By Roman times Malaga had become an important export port for minerals ...
