In recent years, the port has embarked on an ambitious program of works aimed at modernizing port infrastructure and improving services to users. The city-port relationship has been identified as a strategic lever for development and a key factor for success.

In this port, the port authority aims to develop 6 hectares of public space, that will contribute to the valorization of the city-port interface, following on from the renovation work on the “Cable Inglés”, the former loading dock for minerals, now the city’s emblematic pedestrian promenade.
