Dozens of holidaymakers have been spotted sprinting to bag a sunbed – with even a 12-year-old boy joining in to nab the first one.
Mark Hunter was shocked to see the chaos unfold from his hotel balcony.
The 38-year-old watched on as determined holiday-goers raced for a lounger with their towels in tow as the pool gates opened.

One woman tripped over a chain barrier near the edge of the frame but quickly recovered, while others weaved past her in the dash.
Mark, a corporate manager from Ireland, filmed the clip at Hotel Playas de Torrevieja at around 9.54am on Friday (2 Aug), while on holiday with his wife Tara and their son Jake.
“I was shocked to see grown adults reduced to scrambling for sun beds,” he told What’s The Jam, while describing the “sunbed war”.
“It is exactly the same every morning — there are grown adults pushing past children to get a sun bed by the pool.”
After watching the chaos unfold, Mark’s 12-year-old son asked if he could take part the next morning.

“We did let him queue and he was the fastest to a sunbed!”

Ken said: “What’s the point, I just don’t get it.”
Kat added: “I can’t believe this is real”.
“The child getting cleaned out by the barrier,” Tara said.
Another viewer, Jason, seemed lost for words and simply commented with three crying laughing emojis.
