Resum

The quaternary highstands sea-level sequence of the Málaga littoral is formed by, at least, eight major episodes with morphological and/or sedimentary records, which are staircased from +73 m to the present sea-level. The comparision of these sequences with the well known dated ones of the Almería coast, suggest their correlation with two lower Pleistoceno units (+73 m and +55 m), and three upper Pleistocene units (+26 m, +18 m and +12 m), being the most recent episodes related to Tyrrhenian cycle. The Last Interglacial event is represented by two episodes bearing Strobus bubonius (Tyrrhenian II and III). The Holocene sea-level highstand (Flandrian) recorded at 0,5-1 m above sea-level with erosional morphologies (notchs and benchs) and deposits (beaches and spit bars). The geometry and spatial distribution of the Last Interglacial marine episodes, the altitude of their relative highstand sea-level, and the morphology of the present coastline, seems to be controlled by the activity of the ENE-WSW, N10º-20ºE and N120º- 150ºE fractures during the last 200.000 years.
