Located in the Port of Malaga, it is a space dedicated to leisure and culture that has become an obligatory stop for locals and visitors alike.
Its attraction lies in its peculiar layout. It is completely open and its views leave no one indifferent. With the Mediterranean in the background, it is the perfect place to enjoy the most characteristic monuments of the Malaga skyline: the Cathedral, Gibralfaro Castle and the Alcazaba. If seeing them arouses your curiosity, you can take our guided tour of the city.
Moreover, since its opening in 2011, this new concept of shopping area has established itself as an emblem of the capital and we are going to tell you why.
The shops at Pier One
First of all, it contains a wide variety of establishments for shopping. Within a few metres you have at your disposal a multitude of shops for all tastes where you can indulge yourself.
Fashion is very present in Muelle Uno. There, you can find renowned brands such as Lacoste and Hugo BOSS and footwear brands such as Oteros, Deichmann and Koalabay.
On the other hand, perfumery and cosmetics brands are another of the stars of this unique shopping area. Primor, Kiko and Organi sell all kinds of health and beauty products. And if you need a bit of pampering, Cool Beauty is a beauty centre offering hairdressing and body massages.
If you’re looking for something pretty for your home, then head straight to La Mandrágora, a decoration shop full of items so special that everyone will want to know where you bought them. But, if you’re looking for a funny and original detail, Ale-hop won’t let you down. Mugs, posters, stationery, accessories and countless other items that you won’t be able to resist buying, even if you don’t need them.
Restaurants and Bars
Enjoying a good meal at Muelle Uno is a plan that can’t go wrong. Its wide gastronomic offer and sea views make it a very pleasant place to enjoy a delicious meal.
The bar and restaurant options are perfect for the more indecisive, who can find a wide variety of dishes in the same location.
From the Café de Paris, known for its haute cuisine, to the popular Cien Montaditos. From José Carlos García’s famous Michelin-starred restaurant to the fried “pescaíto” portions at Quitapenas.
And if you want to teleport yourself to other parts of the world through gastronomy, there are also alternatives for you. Greek food at Saloniki, Mexican and Indian cuisine at Amigos Grill, a healthy Hawaiian bowl at Tasty Poke or a good Argentinian barbecue at Caucho Grill. Not forgetting fast food lovers who can enjoy their favourite burgers at TBG, Burger King or KFC.
After all this, you may be wondering… How do you top off a great meal? Sipping a cocktail in the chill out area while feeling the sea breeze on your skin. Can there be a better combination? We don’t think so.
Visiting Hours
If you want to spend the day in this shopping area it is important to take into account its opening hours.
The shops are open non-stop from ten in the morning until ten at night throughout the week.
The bars and restaurants are open from Monday to Sunday from 12:00h to 00:00h, although there may be modifications depending on which one we are referring to. Therefore, we recommend that, if you are sure where you want to eat, you should check beforehand to avoid any possible problems.
How to get to Muelle Uno
If, after all we have told you, you are already thinking of visiting Muelle Uno, we can tell you that it is very easy to get there.
Its proximity to the city centre means that you can’t get lost. If you go on foot, there are three ways to get there: via Calle Vélez-Málaga, via Plaza Cánovas del Castillo or via the slope that connects La Farola with the Muelle.
However, if you prefer to go by car, there is a car park of more than 30,000 m2 where you can leave your vehicle without any problem. It is open from Monday to Sunday 24 hours a day and the price is very cheap.
Finally, there’s just one more thing to recommend. If you visit Muelle Uno, stay until sunset. Take a stroll, disconnect from everything and enjoy the calm sea, which is tinged with the colours of the sunset. A landscape that will undoubtedly remain in your memory forever.
