The city of Malaga has experienced very important growth in the last two decades. This growth has resulted, not only in the creation of new infrastructures such as the cruise ship dock, but also in the improvement of existing ones, such as the construction of a new terminal and an additional runway at the city’s airport and an high speed train AVE station.
