Port of Málaga

When the kingdom passed into Catholic control in 1487 the port assumed a strategic importance as an embarkation point for Spanish soldiers in the conquest of the Rif, Melilla, Peñon de Velez and Oran, and was renamed the Port of Málaga.

The Málaga-Puertollano oil pipeline was completed by 1920, permitting oil exports directly from the port.
