3 times a week we pass the beach on the way to the golf course early in the morning and very often there are a number of beach umbrella's stuck in the sand with no loungers underneath, no chairs and no people - just umbrella's so I asked where they came from. Apparently, this is how our spanish holiday makers reserve their spot on the beach. They then go for breakfast, go shopping, infact go where ever knowing that when they return, their place will be safe.
I also noticed that despite the beach being quite wide from the promenade to the sea ALL the beach umbrellas and sunbathers seem to be in a concentration of 3 or 4 meters close to the sea. There may be 20 meters of empty beach but no-one sets their umbrella there, they go very close to someone already in place. Whether this is because the sand is so hot they prefer to be on top of each other rather than having to walk across hot sand to get to the sea, or whether they feel there is safety in numbers, who knows
but it does seem odd to see them all clustered together when there is so much empty beach.
