Hi everyeone,
Really silly question coming up, but this is not a joke...
I am going to start my next Camino within a week from now. It's actually the Ruta de la Lana and not the VdlPlata, but I post this here anyway since I think more people will see it here...
I will NEVER leave without an umbrella on a Camino! To protect from rain and, above all, from heat. Yes, I like to stroll around in Southern Spain with my umbrella, there it is.
Simple question: what color is best on an umbrella if it's used as a protection from the heat? Black... attracts the heat? My last one was black but I soon came to suspect that in + 42 C it actually made things worse. Should I take a lighter color? But if it's a color, will it give enough shade??
If there is any other umbrella nerd like me out there...
Thanks...
