RE: Hiking – Walking along the city walls – Gibralfaro Castle in its forest park 📷 Málaga – Spain

Spotting a red squirrel while missing the chameleon gave the walk a nice balance, since the forest kept one surprise hidden. The Aleppo pines from the 1940 reforestation turn the 700 metre path into a living record. I would take the slower pace you describe over rushing to the viewpoint.
