ramada
Open desert shade
A ramada is an open-air shelter with a roof but no walls, providing shade in hot climates.
The structure typically has a flat roof supported by posts, often covered with brush, thatch, or branches.
Common in the American Southwest and Mexico, ramadas appear in parks, patios, and outdoor gathering spaces: We ate lunch under the ramada to escape the midday sun.
