Malaga is a seafaring city with a rich maritime history

From April 9 to 20, the Galleon Andalucía will dock at Malaga’s Muelle Uno, Marina, offering a sneak peak into an adventurous past of seafaring discovery. 

This floating museum allows visitors to explore its five decks, and experience what it must have been like on the ships which once connected continents and charted uncharted lands. The galleon is scheduled to embark on a transatlantic voyage in 2025 for a tour of the United States.

The Galleon Andalucía is a replica of the iconic Spanish galleons that sailed during the 16th and 17th centuries, a golden age of exploration and trade. The Spanish maritime empire was built on these vessels, which transported gold, silver and cocoa from the Americas and Europe, while navigating dangerous and uncharted seas. Built with historical accuracy, the Andalucía revives this legacy, mixing education with awe-inspiring craftsmanship.

During the Malaga stop, the ship will be open every day from 10am until 8pm. Tickets are available at tickets.velacuadra.es, while schools and associations can arrange visits via ecampos@velacuadra.es. This Malaga stop is a unique opportunity to experience a living piece of history. It connects modern-day visitors with the brave navigators who helped shape the world.

The galleon visit is a celebration for Malaga’s maritime heritage, and an homage to the spirit of exploration that continues along Costa del Sol. Do not miss this trip through time. The Galleon Andalucía is due to arrive April 8.
