Madrid City Hall said on Thursday, September 5, it would ban all rental e-scooters from October because of the risk they pose to pedestrians, the latest city to make the move. "We are withdrawing authorization for companies hiring out scooters on the city's streets," the Spanish capital's conservative mayor Jose Luis Martinez-Almeida wrote on X. "Our priority is the... safety of the people of Madrid," he said, adding that the measure would "take full effect in October."
The three companies currently with licenses to rent out e-scooters on the streets of Madrid – Lime, Dott and Tier Mobility – will now have to remove their devices. These firms "did not comply with the conditions we imposed to guarantee the safety of pedestrians, particularly the elderly," the mayor said. Madrid City Hall criticized the firms for not using technology to prevent e-scooters from driving or parking in prohibited areas and lacking the appropriate accident insurance.

Orgiva/Alpujarras - O Similar ?
Hola, leí (en internet) varios comentarios y referencias de que Orgiva es un lugar "especial", que hay un ambiente "bohemio" tal vez, artístico, y veo , en maps, que hay varios cortijos y huertas orgánicas/ecológicas. Como que hay un ambiente por esa región de comunidad, algo relacionada a la tierra, ecología y similar.
Alguien sabe algo mas sobre esa región? Internet se volvío un lugar complicado para ciertas búsquedas, porque la mayoría de los resultados son para venderme un paquete turístico, tripadvisor, restaurantes, etc.
El motivo de la consulta es porque estamos buscando un lugar donde pasar un tiempo largo y ese lugar parece muy interesante. Somos una pareja (38) y no buscamos "marcha" ni lugares saturados de turistas, sino mas bien un lugar donde poder aprender sobre tierra, ecología, huertos, etc.
Saludos, gracias!

Servidor en español / castellano
Llevo poco tiempo en Lemmy pero veo que no existe ningún servidor en español y que prácticamente no existe ninguna comunidad.
Tengo los conocimientos técnicos para hacerlo pero no dispongo de mucho tiempo para moderar el contenido. Me gustaría saber si hay alguien interesado.
