Between 1900 and 1910 an extensive reconstruction of port facilities resulted in the modernization of the existing quays and the completion of the current passenger terminal.
The Málaga-Puertollano oil pipeline was completed by 1920, permitting oil exports directly from the port.

After the Second World War the importance of the port declined as new ports opened in North Africa and the Middle East, and post-war reconstruction led to the massive expansion of facilities at Port of Rotterdam and elsewhere.
The Puertotollano pipeline ceased operation in the 1990s.
Port operations were concentrated around ten wharves on the southern  border of the existing port.
The northern and central port areas were then progressively returned to the control of the city and converted for residential use.
