Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This is an excellent walkway (long) along with the port leading finally to the Playa de la Malagueta, and the Pompidou Centre and the shopping/eating area after that.
Modern design and architecture is commendable. It is a beautiful promenade. Good for people-watching, stroll with family towards the sunset, or just hanging out to enjoy the views from different cafes along the way.

This promenade is very popular place with lots of palm trees, market stalls and the view to the port. We liked walking there or sitting on a bench and listening to street musicians. It gives a real mediterranean feeling, I think it’s a must-see sight.

We passed through this on the way to the beach but it would be worth a visit to just stop and have a coffee or drink and watch the day go by. Loads of entertainment, dancing, music, puppets, even a section where you can sit down and play chess with other like minded travellers. Loads of variety in stalls also. Though not so much clothes for men.

Palmeral de las Sorpresas translates as a palm surprise. Can 400 palm trees be a surprise? That`s a question, as Hamlet said. In fact, the real surprise is a long white pergola, which creates a chiaroscuro pattern that appears at the bottom. You might think that this is the creation of Santiago Calatrava, but it's not. Although this is also a Spanish design. The architectural firm Junquera Arquitectos designed this pergola from 2003 to 2006. Usually in landscape art there is a vine or something similar on the pergola. Here the Spanish architects went against the tradition going back to the times of ancient Rome. Palm trees are planted on the sides. It looks very cool! Another contrasting point for the Palm Surprise was the multicolored cube of the Pompidou Center branch in Malaga. Here it is an order of magnitude smaller than the monstrous building in Paris. In general, it is beautiful and modern.

The Palm Grove of Surprises is a relatively new leisure area within the port. It was inaugurated in 2011.
The Pier 2 has been converted into a green space with almost 400 palm trees, children's playgrounds and places to rest, drink and relax by the sea.
This area is very close to the historic center and the several gardens located behind it.

On a bright and sunny afternoon it was a treat to stroll through this tree lined area that runs parallel to the Marina. There are many shady seating areas that will come into their own when the hotter weather comes and everything is well maintained. At one end there is a large bandstand and seating area. Even in February, it was popular on the day we were there, so thank you to the far sighted designers.

Stunning views over the port with ships of all kinds. A lot of space for walking, playing or just doing nothing. Very clean and much to see, artists, painters and people from all the world.

While I like harbour-front experiences, I found this space to be a bit mixed in terms of its visual impact. It was nice to see the palm plantings - the older palm park runs parallel to this area - and to have the sea view but the retail and hospitality spaces were unfortunately quite predictable. I would go so far as to say bland. The older part of Malaga is much, much more interesting and is pleasing to see a number of older houses and streets in the process of renovation. Now if they could only get rid of the cemented waterway in the middle of the city!

It is quite recently constructed , but it brings a very fresh concept of a promenade along the port of Malaga. There are a lot of bars, restaurants and shops nearby.
