German holidaymakers have developed an ingenious new hack to secure the best spots on the beach.
For years sunseekers have been at loggerheads trying to secure the best beach spot by placing beach towels on deckchairs,a practice banned in many places such as Mallorca.
But now German holidaymakers are beating their British counterparts to the punch by reserving parasols on the beaches of Mallorca and sidestepping the deckchair ban.
A lifeguard said people arrive at dawn to hang their towels in the straw umbrellas in the first row,German newspaper BILD reported.

Palma City Council provides a rental service for sun loungers and parasols on the beach through an external company between 10am and 7pm with a daily fee.
Sunlounger wars are not uncommon in Spain,but they tend to take place on pool-sides rather than beaches.
Just last month,a British tourist blasted two men for hogging five sunbeds between them at a Benidorm resort.
Paul Hitchcock,who regularly holidays in Benidorm,shared a picture of two sunseekers at his hotel who had stacked up multiple deckchairs - seemingly preventing other holidaymakers from bagging a spot.
'Two people,five sunbeds,and they are not the only ones,' he told fellow tourists,who slammed what they called the men's 'selfish' sunbathing etiquette.
