class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The best way to start a visit to Malaga is simply to lose yourself in its <strong>historic center<\/strong>. Compact and pleasant to walk around, it concentrates most of the city&#8217;s monuments. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As you stroll through the narrow streets, you&#8217;ll soon come across <strong>several churches <\/strong>not to be missed.  <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The <strong>Sagrado Coraz\u00f3n<\/strong> church, recognizable by its neo-Gothic fa\u00e7ade, is a real eye-catcher, with a style that is unusual in Andalusia.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A little further on, <strong>Saint-Augustin<\/strong> church, with its red facade, adds an unexpected touch of color.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It&#8217;s also impossible to miss <strong>Malaga&#8217;s cathedral<\/strong>, a true symbol of the city. It&#8217;s easy to spot from several points in the city center.
