Spain has a problem. It's hot.
So hot, in fact,
that the locals must stay inside
to avoid the midday sun.
This kind of problem
takes a special kind of solution.
And these ladies have the answer.
Meet the crew. There’s Luisa.
Mrs. Black,
Mrs Brown.
Isabel.
Mrs. orange.
Mrs pink.
Mrs white.
And the leader of the group. Eva.
These are the crochet grannies.
In the...*cough*
In the town of Alhaurín de la Torre,
Spain.
The town came up with an idea
to keep the streets cool.
To protect pedestrians from the sun,
The council first installed
plastic awnings
with the aim of keeping the streets cool,
but it instead created
a greenhouse effect
where the streets got hotter.
So instead,
they paid a visit to Eva.
Eva realized
they couldn't use wool of cotton.
As when it rains, material
would contain too much water and collapse.
Synthetic yarn, on the other hand, absorbs
next to
no water, making it the perfect material
for their
Crocheting.
Let's meet the team.
How did the town react
to their newfound shade?
