The port of La Caleta is located on the coast of Vélez Málaga, an important and thriving city at the head of the La Axarquía region of Málaga. Located 35 km from Málaga, it is the only port facility for the recreational fleet on the eastern Costa del Sol. What was once a large fishing port has transformed part of its facilities into a modern marina. The environment of the port is a tourist site where one can enjoy an extraordinary promenade, hotels, discos, and recreational centers for entertainment and leisure.
