Palma's heat rule for horse-drawn carriages overturned — due to missing gender equality assessment

Answer

How hot is too hot for horse-drawn carriages in Mallorca?

Mallorca does not have one single universal rule that fits every situation, because local regulations can change and must be legally valid. In Palma, the dispute focused on operating bans during official Aemet heat warnings, which shows how local authorities often use weather alerts as a trigger. Practical rules usually need to consider more than temperature alone, such as shade, water, and rest periods.
