In the southern part of Spain, in villages on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea, the traditional image of tourists enjoying views of the sea created artificially by horse-drawn carriages, will become part of the past in Málaga. The municipality has made the decision to prohibit this practice.
The article begins with expressions from tourists who describe the pleasure derived from their travels in carriages with horses and are able to see Málaga in a new light. 47-year-old Anastasia focused her attention on how such an experience can help her see Málaga anew, while 46-year-old Robert, also impressed by his heritage, is confident that such an activity contributes to attracting a larger number of visitors.
However, a practice that has existed until now in certain villages of Andalusia is facing sharp criticism from animal rights advocates. The "Marques" Competition, the main sponsor of the project "All Horses of the World," located 30 kilometers from Málaga, told the agency "France Press" that the horses, pulling the carriages, "are getting too heavy to carry."
