I don't mean a parasol, I mean huge shades hung across a street like the ones in this photo I took of the Feria in Málaga last year.

Feria de Málaga 2009

Thanks in advance!

I would call that a "toldo".

Gekkosan and Benz, thanks to both of you for your answers. I can only accept one but I appreciate both! On reflection I guess I do mean a parasol!

They are quite new Richard. The photo I posted is from Santa Fe, Argentina, and though they are made by "fabricantes de toldos" they call them "parasoles". I guess Gekk's answer is perfectly acceptable too. Have a nice day!! :) - Benz, Mar 19, 2010
