For the McCann family,
the latest search for evidence about their daughter's disappearance
couldn't come soon enough. But some in the resort of Praia da Luz are
frustrated by the timing.
It is the start of the summer season on the Algarve - its busiest period of the year by far. Families and retired couples are heading from the UK to the resort of Praia da Luz - making the short journey from Faro Airport further along the coast.
Here, the population increases four-fold in the summer months, remaining popular for the same reasons it attracted the McCanns - it is compact, family-friendly and has activities to keep all ages occupied.
Children can be seen paddling in the waves and building sandcastles on the beach, all under the blazing sun.
But just up the hill a large area of scrubland has become a hive of activity with police officers inside a cordon and journalists outside.
The land is owned by a company belonging to one of Portugal's richest men and is a short distance from the centre of the village.
Many residents walking past it don't want to comment at all.
