Many Of Us Go To Sunny Destinations For Our Holidays,

but some times it can just be too sunny,

with that in mind local crochet teacher Eva Pacheco and over a dozen students approached the city council’s Department of the Environment and asked to swap a large plastic tarp with a more eco-friendly and colourful solution, photographs © Alhaurín de la Torre,

that was three years ago and the main shopping centre in Alhaurínde la Torre, in Malaga, in Southern Spain is still covered, 

the textile tarp features colourful geometric patterns, organic shapes that radiate like stepping stones, and other symbols and colours selected by the students,

Pacheco and the group of women have expanded the canopy, and it now covers an area of nearly 500 square meters, what a lovely idea for a sun shade.
