The foundation stone was laid on 21 October 1908.[1] Building works ended in 1927.[1] A bulk cargo dock was opened in 1994.[1]
On 1 October 2005, the standalone Port Authority of Motril was created, upon a split from the Port Authority of Almería.[1][2] Two years later, the expansion of the Azucenas dock was inaugurated, featuring ro-ro capabilities.[1][2]
It is connected by ferry to Nador, Melilla, Al-Hoceima and Tanger-Med.[3]
The port closed its 2019 year with a total cargo traffic of 2.8 million tonnes.[3]
