A Ticking Timewarp in the Sun-Kissed Málaga

Peeling back the layers of time reveals a tale of transformation. The once bustling hub of Malaga Suburban Trains has found a silent second life in the Institute of Port Studies. Join us as we unearth its past, examine its present, and ponder its future.

In the heart of Málaga, Spain, where Plaza de la Marina and Avenida de Manuel Agustín Heredia converge, stands an edifice that was far from quiet. Long ago, the hum of Malaga Suburban Trains filled the air, transporting travelers to Coín, Ventas de Zafarraya, Vélez-Málaga, and Fuengirola. Today, however, it stands tall, its Doric columns embracing a semi-circular facade, with a clock - its guardian in silence - sitting atop. This architectural masterpiece, the work of Enrique Verdú and Leopoldo Werner in 1911, carries a rich history. It was during 1995 that the architect Juan Pablo Gómez de la Fuente saw its potential, transforming it from a railway hub into a wing of the Institute of Port Studies. Can't help but wonder what secrets it holds?
