NEW YORK, NY – (February 24, 2024) – CNN Original Series Eva Longoria: Searching for Spain will premiere on Sunday, April 27 at 9pm ET/PT on CNN. Produced by Cris Abrego's and Longoria's Hyphenate Media Group, the eight-episode series follows the award-winning actress, producer, director, and activist on a gastronomic pilgrimage across the land of her ancestors as she indulges in the rich tapestry of Spanish cuisine. The series will air Sundays at 9pm ET/PT on CNN.
'Spain's rich culture, passionate people and bold and diverse cuisines have captivated me as long as I can remember, especially knowing that one of my Mexican-American ancestors has deep roots in this remarkable country,' said Longoria. 'The opportunity to immerse myself in Spain's many regions, to discover its fascinating history, to indulge in its dynamic culinary traditions and innovations has been nothing short of exhilarating. I am so excited to finally share this incredible journey with the world!'
Searching for Spain invites viewers to journey with Longoria across Spain's sun-drenched plains, rugged mountains and dramatic seascapes exploring its incredible wealth of cultures, climates and cuisines. This season, Longoria tastes her way through a bar crawl of pintxos in San Sebastián, Catalan prawns in Barcelona, and the iconic Spanish tortilla in Madrid. She ventures to the birthplace of tapas and samples some of the most expensive jamon in the world in Andalusia. In Galicia, she savors a bounty of fresh seafood and world class Galician blonde beef. Among the cider mills of Asturias, she explores the land of her ancestors and visits with family who still live in the town of Longoria to this day. Finally, audiences get a special peek into her new Spanish home in Marbella as she hosts a feast of local delicacies for her closest friends.

UK agrees to check-free land border for Gibraltar but EU controls for flights
The UK has reached a deal with the EU over Gibraltar's border with Spain that will allow travellers to cross by land without checks. The agreement on a 'fluid border' clears the way to finalise a post-Brexit deal on the territory with the EU. But those flying into Gibraltar from the UK will face one check from Gibraltarian officials and another by the Spanish on behalf of the EU. An agreement for the future relationship between the EU and the UK in relation to Gibraltar is now a reality. It is a historic agreement. — Fabian Picardo (@FabianPicardo) June 11, 2025 This is because the land border will allow those arriving by air access to the European Schengen free travel area unchecked once they are in Gibraltar. The UK and Gibraltar insisted the changes would not affect the British overseas territory's sovereignty. The airport will operate under a model similar to London's St Pancras station, where passengers pass through both UK and French passport checks to board international trains. Goods and customs checks will also eventually be removed in both directions under the agreement. The move could also see airlines start to add flights to Gibraltar from countries other than the UK in a boost to tourism. Officials say a hard border would have been introduced under the EU's incoming exit and entry control system if no deal was reached, causing delays for some 15,000 people who cross the border every day as every individual passport was checked. Talks on rules governing the border have been ongoing since Britain left the European Union in 2020. Foreign Secretary David Lammy said the previous Tory government left behind a situation that 'put Gibraltar's economy and way of life under threat'. He said the agreement was a 'breakthrough' after years of uncertainty. He said: 'Alongside the government of Gibraltar, we have reached an agreement which protects British sovereignty, supports Gibraltar's economy and allows businesses to plan for the long-term once again. 'I thank the chief minister and his government for their tireless dedication throughout the negotiations. The UK's commitment to Gibraltar remains as solid as The Rock itself.' Spanish foreign minister Jose Albares said the deal marked 'a new beginning' in the relationship between the UK and Spain. He said that Spain 'will guarantee free movement of people and goods', adding that Gibraltar would now be linked to the Schengen Area with Spanish authorities controlling entry and exit. I have always said nothing about Gibraltar, without Gibraltar. — David Lammy (@DavidLammy) June 11, 2025 President of the EU Commission Ursula von der Leyen welcomed the deal. In a post on X, she said: 'It safeguards the integrity of Schengen and the single market, while ensuring stability, legal certainty and prosperity for the region.' Gibraltar's chief minister Fabian Picardo said the deal would 'protect future generations of British Gibraltarians and does not in any way affect our British sovereignty'. 'Now is the time to look beyond the arguments of the past and towards a time of renewed co-operation and understanding. Now the deal is done, it's time to finalise the treaty,' he said. On Wednesday evening, Sir Keir Starmer spoke with Mr Picardo and thanked him for 'his years of hard work, commitment, and leadership to reach an agreement'. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez also had a phone call with Sir Keir, and congratulated the British PM because 'his Government had succeeded where others had failed'. The Conservatives have said they will carefully review the UK's agreement with the EU on Gibraltar's border to see if it crosses any 'red lines' the party set out during its own negotiations when in government. Shadow foreign secretary Priti Patel said: 'Gibraltar is British, and given Labour's record of surrendering our territory and paying for the privilege, we will be reviewing carefully all the details of any agreement that is reached.' Mr Lammy held talks with Gibraltar's leaders, members of the opposition and the business community before leaving the British overseas territory to head to Brussels on Wednesday morning. Gibraltar was ceded to the UK by Spain in 1713 and the population is heavily in favour of remaining a British overseas territory. The last time it voted on a proposal to share sovereignty with Spain, in 2002, almost 99% of Gibraltarians rejected the move. Gibraltar also hosts an RAF base at its airport and an important naval facility.

$2M price tag, boycotts expected at Trump's Kennedy Center ‘Les Misérables' attendance
President Trump is set to attend a performance of 'Les Misérables' at the Kennedy Center on Wednesday night, which includes a hefty price tag for other attendees and a planned boycott for some cast members. Other patrons at the Kennedy Center, following the Trump takeover of the historic venue, will pay $2 million to sit in a box seat, attend a reception with Trump and take a photo with the president, The Washington Post reported. For the package without the box seat, tickets cost $100,000. Additionally, some cast members are planning to boycott the show and not perform, CNN reported last month, and a Kennedy Center staffer told The Post the Wednesday performance is only the first preview while Thursday evening is opening night. First lady Melania Trump, Vice President Vance and second lady Usha Vance were also poised to attend the performance. The White House and vice president's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the boycotts. The Hill has also reached out to the Kennedy Center for comment. Trump overhauled the performing arts institution's board in February and named himself its chair. The president, who had accused the Kennedy Center of being too 'woke,' appointed his envoy for special missions Richard Grenell as its interim executive director and he vowed to 'fix' the institution in March after a tour. Grenell criticized performers who boycott and said they should be outed, in a statement to The New York Times. 'Any performer who isn't professional enough to perform for patrons of all backgrounds, regardless of political affiliation, won't be welcomed,' he said. 'In fact, we think it would be important to out those vapid and intolerant artists to ensure producers know who they shouldn't hire — and that the public knows which shows have political litmus tests to sit in the audience.' Trump's takeover of the Kennedy Center rattled Washington. The president did not attend any events n the center during his first term in office, bucking tradition. He had also declined to attend the annual Kennedy Center Honors event after several of the award's recipients criticized him. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
