Umbrellas provide shade in summer

Many Spanish cities make their shopping streets more attractive in the summer with shady temporary roofing. Normally, large white fabric canopies are used for this purpose, which provide shade on the one hand and allow air movement on the other. Getafe, a suburb of Madrid, has now adopted a new approach that we like much better, true to our motto "either the weather is fine or the sun is shining". Here, thousands of umbrellas were used to create a much more colourful shade effect. A nice example that the umbrella is a product for all weather conditions and seasons.
