Scores of British holidaymakers have been seen anxiously waiting outside the gate before rushing to grab the best sun loungers by a hotel pool in Spain.
Armed with towels in hand, newly released images show holidaymakers crowded at the entrance to the pool, ready for the morning race to get the first sun loungers.
Britons at the four-star Villa Romana hotel in Tarragona, Catalonia, were almost greeted with a ‘ready, set, go’ when staff pushed open the glass doors and they poured out.
A separate video shows the Brits running and pushing each other around the pool as they try to get the best spots.
Others in the back, however, seem less concerned as they stroll calmly toward the poolside loungers.

This comes after footage released earlier this week showed holidaymakers taking this summer’s sunbed wars to a new level by snapping up their secured sun loungers before hotel staff have even opened the pool.
In the video, filmed by a stunned guest at a Tenerife hotel, a man dressed in a T-shirt, shorts and flip-flops can be seen rearranging sun loungers to free five people trapped underneath.
A woman and another man were also seen moving a sun lounger by the pool before the woman returned to collect a towel she had left on top of the secured sun loungers.
A five-star hotel in Turkey also declared war on sunbed-hogging tourists earlier this week.
Laur hotels on the country’s Aegean coast have ordered staff to remove tourists’ belongings if they try to steal sun loungers early in the morning or even the night before.
Two videos shared on social media show a stern-faced hotel manager collecting towels on two separate occasions.
The towel on the sun lounger has become an almost universal sign of reservation at the most visited tourist spots.

TikTok user The Railway Queen shared a video showing a manager at her hotel in Turkey stacking towels over his shoulder in an attempt to clear space by the pool.

The first video, posted by a British tourist, is accompanied by the music of Madonna’s Holiday, and the second clip features the line “Guess who’s back, again” from Eminem’s Without Me.
In both videos, the hotel employee grabs at least half a dozen towels as he patrols the resort’s pool area to clear space for sun worshippers arriving to enjoy the weather.
Also, a post last week from the Village Hotel in Benalmadena, Spain, showed the moment guests ran towards the sun loungers by the pool.
A man in a bucket hat is seen claiming four beds by quickly throwing his towels across the row.
The video was posted on TikTok and one person said: “Wanna know what happens next? Do you all just sit back and chill?”
A second TikTok video shows similar scenes at a hotel in Tenerife. Once the pool door is opened, guests flock to the water’s edge and fill all available beds within seconds.
The footage is accompanied by a soundtrack of Survivor’s Eye of the Tiger, the theme song to the Rocky boxing films.
