I cannot believe that this cruelty is still being allowed. I thought that it was promises that horse carriages would be banned from this year onwards, why is this not being implemented, people do not want to visit beautiful Palma and see the poor horses struggling in heat and having to negotiate very busy traffic, it is so upsetting and spoils any visit. Promises to release these horses from the misery must be upheld and tourists must be educated that carriage rides are in no way a romantic way to see the city. Carriage rides also exist in other towns in Mallorca with the same cruelty occurring, it's 2024 there are alternatives that don't cause misery to horses.
