We've just come back from a very sunny holiday in Estepona. Had a difficult time on the beach with our eight month old son, as he was very hot and starting to burn where the suncream rubbed off.
We found a great Spanish-in-English site selling these baby-sized pop-up tent shade things. Great for his nap too. They sent it to us the next day and didn't charge shipping. Was only about 25 euros too.
They've run out of the pop-up tents now but have beach shades (called Beachshadows) which give a big square of shade - good for three or four people to sit under.Send your feedback or queries to been.there@guardian.co.uk
