Two Brit holidaymakers arrested over rape of woman, 19, at villa in Marbella after teen found unconscious in bathroom
TWO British holidaymakers have been arrested on suspicion of raping a teen tourist from the UK at their rented Costa del Sol villa. The 19-year-old's friends found her unconscious in a bathroom at the property in Marbella. The alleged sex attack occurred in the early hours of Sunday morning after a group of young female British holidaymakers met the men at a nightclub. They had agreed to go back to the villa they had rented for their holiday to continue partying. The women tragically found their friend 'naked and unconscious' in the bathroom around 1.30am on Sunday, according to local reports. She was taken to Marbella's Costa del Sol Hospital where she underwent a sexual assault forensic examination. Tests also took place to see if she had potentially been drugged as part of a new protocol in place on the Costa del Sol. She is said to have been drinking heavily before being found, and officials have not yet said if they believe her drinks could have been spiked. One of the suspects, described locally as a 23-year-old UK national, was at the scene of the alleged sex attack. Another, a 27-year-old male who is also British, was reportedly held hours later at a Marbella nightclub after cops were given a description matching his by the alleged victim. The ongoing probe is being dealt with by Spain's National Police, who are expected to make their first official comment later today. It was not immediately clear this morning if the two suspects have appeared before a judge and been remanded in custody or released on bail pending ongoing inquiries. Initial court appearances in Spain always take place behind closed doors. is your go-to destination for the best celebrity news, real-life stories, jaw-dropping pictures and must-see video.

Women Who Travel Podcast: Eva Longoria on Eating Her Way Around Spain
You can listen to our podcast on Apple Podcasts and Spotify each week. Follow this link if you're listening on Apple News. In 2023, Eva Longoria headed to Mexico with CNN in search of a deeper understanding of the country's rich culinary heritage and her own family history. Last month, she returned to our screens with a brand new season, Searching for Spain, which takes her all over the country to explore the vast regional scope of its cuisine and learn about her Spanish ancestors. Lale sits down with the actor and television host to find out how she chose the destinations for each episode, her most memorable meals in places like San Sebastián and Andalusia, and how food can be an entry point to connecting more deeply with history—and each other. Lale Arikoglu: Hi there. I'm Lale Arikoglu and welcome to an episode of Women Who Travel, where we are traveling around Spain with Eva Longoria. Eva's new CNN show, Searching for Spain, is a follow-up to her series, Searching for Mexico, which ran in 2023. Eva Longoria: So I didn't know Spain as well, and so the difference is like Mexico, I felt like I was at home. Spain really felt like a fish out of water and I was really curious and engaged in the history of gastronomy in the country, but also the history of the ingredients and how things ended up there and colonization and how did that help, and Franco's dictatorship and how did that have an effect on food. But I do live part-time in Spain. I live in Marbella in the South, so unfamiliar with the south, but everything else, I was just visited very, very superficially. And so to go to Spain in this way, with the show, really dig in deeply was a gift. With the CNN research team, they really look at food stories. I mean, that's what drives this series is like, is there a food story there? So sometimes there'll be regions that are very popular, but there's no food story. So that's kind of the lens in which we look at each region and there's obvious cities and regions. We went to Madrid being its own episode and Catalonia being its own episode, Pais Vasco, the Basque Country being its own. And then after that, just trying to find the stories and the history and what would be visually beautiful, what people and chefs we wanted to follow. What was daunting was speaking Castilian Spanish, because I didn't grow up speaking Spanish. I spoke Spanish in the Mexico series because I'm Mexican, but to go to the mother country of Spain and to speak Castellano, which is very different than Mexican Spanish, that was daunting. So I was like, oh God, I hope I'm going to be able to understand and communicate because when you speak the language, you really can ask the right questions and absorb the answers. And so that's what was terrifying, but it was great. I did well.
