Melilla cruise port guide
Carved out of the Moroccan coastline, Melilla has both an old town - containing a 14th century fortress, which juts out into the sea, caves and numerous museums; and the 'new town', full of Modernist buildings - the second-largest collection outside of Barcelona. The centre is the long triangular Parque Hernández, well worth exploring, and the sandy beaches are ideal for relaxing on. Tax is lower here than on the mainland, and it is one of the last places in Spain to still provide free tapas with every drink in all its bars.
About Melilla
Melilla is a Spanish autonomous city on the North African coast, bordering Morocco and facing the Mediterranean Sea. With an area of 12.3 km² and a population of 87,067 (2025), it is a Spanish exclave noted for its extraordinary cultural and religious pluralism - Christians, Muslims, Jews and Hindus coexist alongside remarkable Art Nouveau (Modernista) architecture. Melilla was occupied by Spain in 1497 and became a free port in 1863.
