airports in nearly 30 european countries, which had scrapped limits for liquids in hand luggage, are made to reinstate the restrictions from sunday. the eu says the reversal is a "temporary" measure to address a technical issue with new equipment. martin will be with you for your headlines at 2:00pm and the rest of the news. now on bbc news: the travel show. on the show this week... probably the best way to think about this coastline, which is endlessly shifting down the centuries, is as a living sand dune. why do we do that? because we love to drink the cider with the bubbles. did picasso ever come here? no. well, i camejust searching the wind. it was a paradise for windsurfing. wind every day. the travel show

is back in spain. this week, we're in spain... ..for decades, a summer favourite of families and package holiday—makers looking for some guaranteed sunshine. this month alone, around 10 million of us will have paid the country a visit. so as peak season there reaches its height, we wanted to revisit some of our adventures on the spanish mainland, starting in the southern region of andalucia, home to some eye—catching names — seville, cordoba, granada

and the costa del sol. but amid all the recumbent sun worshippers spread out on the beaches, we found something secret hidden beneath the sands. i'm meeting eddi pitcher, a writer and travel journalist who specialises in uncovering hidden places. eddi, where are you taking me today? so we are taking the wild way to bolonia beach, and we can see that this is the way because we've got...knotted beach grass here. there are no signs. so it's... i said it was a wild way. i'm definitely glad that eddi's here to show me the way on this one.

wow, look at this. there you go. so you've got your desert dune there. wow! this is the bolonia sand dune, one of spain's largest sand dunes, standing at over 30m high and 200m wide, all concealed within the estrecho nature park. probably the best way to think about this coastline, which is endlessly shifting down the centuries, is as a living sand dune. and now, with climate change, the winds are getting stronger and pushing with them these dunes. so they're really moving? yeah, exactly. these dunes are being battered by hurricane force winds, forcing them inland and revealing some remarkable hidden history concealed below. if you think about it in terms of history, this is a melting pot of cultures. you've got africa, you've got europe, you've got all of the mediterranean, and then the travels across the atlantic. and all of those peoples have left their vestiges, their archaeological sites, along this coastline, which have been kept perfectly

intact down the millennia. so when you discovered and realised it was a tomb, you must have been preparing to find some bones in here, right? so excavate here is very similar to the excavation in egypt tombs. and the sand preserve very well the bones. so the state of preservation of the tomb of the bones, the grave goods, is excellent. we have an arrowhead. tiene cuatro mil anos de antiguedad. pendant. i can't believe i'm holding in my hand a piece ofjewellery from thousands of years ago. that is amazing.

and these aren't the last of the mysteries which this magnificent coastline is concealing. finding two neolithic tombs is extraordinary enough, but this coast has even more buried treasures. in fact, looking around, i can see people lying on their beach towels, probably not knowing that beneath them could be a whole ancient roman settlement. if you are on the beach and you have an umbrella and you leave your umbrella on the beach in a windy area, after some hours, it will be completely covered by the sand. and this is what has happened here. so, what can you tell me about this site? what are these walls? this is the roof, more or less,

of the roman baths. wow. so it's much deeper? so how deep do we have to go down? four metres down. four metres? but could we have a go at maybe exposing just a bit of it to see more of what's down there? yes, yes, of course. thank you very much. all right! four metres is a long way down. yeah! this is going to take me probably more than the afternoon, i'd say. yeah. i think i'm going to have to accept defeat here. besides, the archaeologists have purposefully decided to cover up this site with sand in order to protect it from the elements — a decision which might prove difficult in the long—term, thanks to those strong winds and shifting sands. winds and shifting sands. some history worth thinking some history worth thinking about next time you're about next time you're stretched out on a spanish stretched out on a spanish beach. right, from the south, let's beach. right, from the south, let's head to the other extreme now. head to the other extreme now. the town of san sebastian the town of san sebastian is pretty much as far north is pretty much as far north as you can get in spain. as you can get in spain. it's in the basque country, it's in the basque country, a region with a culture a region with a culture and traditions all its own. and traditions all its own.

san sebastian's earned itself quite a reputation san sebastian's earned itself quite a reputation as a foodie capital? as a foodie capital? so why, then, were some bars so why, then, were some bars and restaurants there charging and restaurants there charging tourists over the odds tourists over the odds for a regional speciality? for a regional speciality? we gave lucky lucy the enviable we gave lucky lucy the enviable task of finding out. task of finding out. this northern spanish city this northern spanish city holds one of the highest number holds one of the highest number of michelin stars per square of michelin stars per square metre in the world, metre in the world, and they also claim to and they also claim to have the most bars per person. have the most bars per person. so this place sounds so this place sounds right up my street. right up my street. and the basques have their own and the basques have their own way of eating, too. way of eating, too. it's all about pintxos. it's all about pintxos. my guide to the pintxos my guide to the pintxos scene is luis. scene is luis. he grew up in san sebastian he grew up in san sebastian and he runs pintxo food tours. and he runs pintxo food tours. hi. hi. so this is my first so this is my first time trying pintxos. time trying pintxos. how does it all work? how does it all work? well, pintxos is our tradition. well, pintxos is our tradition. it's the way of socialise it's the way of socialise and meet friends, changing very and meet friends, changing very quick from one bar to another. quick from one bar to another.

0ne bar, one drink, one pintxo. 0ne bar, one drink, one pintxo. let me show you inside the... all right! ..the varieties that we have. so i can see a lot of food. it all looks really good, but what's going on? well, it's not easy because there are a lot of possibilities. 0n the counter, we have the fresh pintxos. and if you follow the blackboard, we have the warm food, the warm pintxos that come directly from the kitchen. and this is all made today, daily... very, very fresh. ..made throughout the day. and maybe in 20 minutes or half an hour, they need to, you know, renew the pintxos that you can see on the

in fact, there are more than 200 to pick from, which can be a little overwhelming, but it all becomes clear when you have someone to explain how it works. ok, so talk to me about pricing, because i can see prices on the board here, but there's no prices here. so how does it all work? yeah. the pintxos that you can see on the counter, you can take by yourself directly without waiting the waiter. and you can take one, two or three, whenever you want. and before leaving, you can say to the waiter how many pintxos have you eaten and pay for that. yeah. so people can come in. they don't need to wait to be served. they can take the food. and then based on this trust system, you pay for what you've eaten and drank and then you leave. yeah. because normally the people is very honest because it's not normal in other big cities especially. no, i've never come across

a system like this before. yeah. it's very trustworthy. yeah. and also it's easy for the waiters because price normally is the same for all the variety of pintxos, and you say three... yeah. ..is... three euro for three is nine euro, you know? pintxos isn't all about the old town and tradition. luis takes me to meet a chef who's putting a modern twist on it all. hi. hola! so are you from san sebastian? do you live here? what's the secret to good pintxos?

gracias. all in one? yes. 0k. before i leave, luis took me to one of his favourite places and has one more thing in store. just for finishing the tour... mm—hm. ..i have a surprise for you. a surprise, huh? i like surprises. this is a temple for t—bone steak lovers, but we will try cider. but we will try cider. hola! hola! san sebastian is full of cider san sebastian is full of cider houses, some of them houses, some of them more than 500 years old. more than 500 years old. takes a certain amount takes a certain amount of skill to pour like that. of skill to pour like that. why do we do that? why do we do that? because we love to drink because we love to drink the cider with the bubbles. the cider with the bubbles. 0k? 0k? i'm all about the bubbles. i'm all about the bubbles. 0k. 0k. both: topa! both: topa!

wow. wow. that's very fresh. that's very fresh. very fresh. very fresh. now, one of malaga's biggest now, one of malaga's biggest attractions also happens attractions also happens to be one of the world's to be one of the world's most famous artists. most famous artists. i wonder if you can i wonder if you can guess who it is. is everywhere. guess who it is. the atmosphere of everyday life the atmosphere of everyday life in the city was said in the city was said to have inspired him, to have inspired him, but his personal life was tumultuous and he left a complex and troubled legacy. well, last year marked the 50th anniversary of his death, so we sent rajan to the city to better understand the life and work of pablo picasso. but his personal life rajan: born here in 1881, picasso actually only lived in malaga until he was ten. but 50 years on from his death, the city is making the most of its illustrious local boy. there's postcards, fridge magnets, bags, and even language courses.

picasso's influence many of the paintings and sculptures in the gallery were donated by his children at picasso's request.

was tumultuous and he left three different visions three different visions of doves, yeah. of doves, yeah. doves were used by picasso doves were used by picasso as symbols of peace, as symbols of peace, and his image of a dove and his image of a dove would be adopted as an emblem would be adopted as an emblem of world harmony. of world harmony. he lived through some he lived through some of the most turbulent of the most turbulent events in modern history, events in modern history, including the spanish civil war including the spanish civil war and two world wars. and two world wars. these would be a profound these would be a profound influence on his work, perhaps most famously illustrated in guernica, a dramatic painting depicting the horror of the bombing of the spanish town by fascist forces during the civil war in the 1930s. influence on his work,

and it revels in the great artist's legacy. this room is called the picasso room. did picasso ever come here? no. no! despite this, er, minor detail, it hasn't stopped the bar from capitalising on picasso's brand. wow. so, in 2003, in april, she came here? and maybe the myths, legends and vague associations are becoming as much part of picasso's appeal as the real facts. christa: finally, this week, one of my favourite memories from spain — and this time, back

on the southern coast, on the blustery little strip of land just 14km north of the tip of the african continent. actually, tarifa is known as the windiest spot in the whole of europe. and as a result, it's become a favourite for windsurfers and kite surfers from everywhere. so i went along to find out why some see this sport as a breath of fresh air. we'll see you again next week, but until then, sit back and enjoy with me the acrobatic twists and turns of the annual kitesurfing world championships in tarifa. the winds here can reach up to 60 knots, with the athletes expertly manipulating it to fly over 30 metres high. i've headed over to the leaderboard to see how the competition is shaping up. so, the best of the best kite surfers in the world are competing here today. that's 60 competitors, but they are divided in five divisions. we've got 2a men and we got 12 women. it's an elimination system,

so they are riding in groups of two or three riders at the same time, and then the winner advances to the next round. but we'll see at the end of the day who's going to arrive at the final and who's going to take the crown. there's a reason why the wind is so consistently good here in tarifa. judge and commentator lewis explains why. here is so special. because it's so close to the north of africa, what happens with the geology of the land is these mountains push up and then you get this strong wind that comes in. you've got to think of an hourglass where the sand rushes through the middle. that's what happens here in both directions, either from the atlantic or the mediterranean. that is why it's so uniquely always windy and so strong. i think we're going to see something very special later. now that the winds are getting stronger and the competition is really heating up, i want to know how the athletes are doing. lorenzo, congratulations. thank you a lot.

looked incredible out there. what's it like out there? the wind is pumping. it's 30 knots and we're flying really high. it's just an unreal feeling. when i'm doing my best tricks, ijust feel like superman on the water. it's like i've got a superpower. it's great. it's great energy on the beach. the wind is super strong, and that's exactly- what we're looking for. so, hopefully i continue to make it and arrive i in the final soon. well, congratulations and good luck for the next stage. and yet the medieval town of tarifa and its surrounding beaches were not always home to this global influx of tourism. tarifa is a really bustling town, and that certainly wasn't always the case. in fact, very few tourists came here, because why would you want to sit on the beach with such a wind blowing all the time? but then in the 1980s, the world came to love tarifa's wind and everything changed. tell me about the first time you came to tarifa.

well, i came through this entrance with my car, full of boards, and then we get stuck in one of these small streets. in yourcar? yeah, in the car. stuck in a tiny street. it is absolutely tiny. yeah. i've come to the old town to meet michel, who in 1982 left his hometown and chased the wind, to wind up in tarifa, opening the town's first—ever kite surfing school. why were you coming to tarifa? well, i camejust searching the wind. it was a paradise for windsurfing. wind every day. long beach, sandy beach. nobody. that's perfect for us. in fact, before kite surfing came to tarifa, there was an exodus of locals leaving the town to find work. now, locals can stay in their home town thanks to the employment opportunities which this sport has brought with it. so, at the end, we are the ones who push this town up. you did a good job. yeah, we did a good job.

sometimes you think it's better not to do it because then we have a perfect spot for us. we have a perfect spot for us. right now, it's full of people... right now, it's full of people... you gave the game away. you gave the game away. yeah, but... yeah, but... now everyone knows. now everyone knows. always, when you think always, when you think that one, it's too late, that one, it's too late, so that's the problem. so that's the problem. i've met with tanja, i've met with tanja, owner of one of the a0 — owner of one of the a0 — yes, that's a0 — kite surfing yes, that's a0 — kite surfing schools that line this coast. schools that line this coast. it's time to experience it's time to experience what this legendary wind what this legendary wind feels like for myself. feels like for myself. 0h! 0h! that's great. that's great. 0h! 0h! but, you see, once we're but, you see, once we're in the water, you see that it in the water, you see that it will feel quite natural. will feel quite natural. i wouldn't bet on it, tanja. i wouldn't bet on it, tanja.

it will move north with its thunderstorm. sunday starts on cloudier note. sunshine towards the north—west. sunny spells elsewhere and it will be increasingly warm and humid and that will set up heavy showers and thunderstorms across england and wales. could be a little bit further eastwards. it will be quite breezy close to the east coast of a little bit cooler but right on the north sea coast. had valour in the end, it will be warm and humid and, given some sunshine with this warm and humid air mass it could be in the high 20s in the south—east. high teens further north. as we had to sunday night we hold onto that threat of heavy showers and thunderstorms which will drift further northwards and, by first thing monday, we will all be in the humid air mass. mid—teens they are to the central belt of scotland. the same for northern ireland. no more than 16 or in the south—east. monday looks unsettled thanks to this area of low pressure which has moved what northwards across the country with its weather fronts. that will generate lots of cloud and showers and

thunderstorms. a bit of a question on the details. central and eastern areas could see much of the thunderstorms with a greater chance of it turning drierfor a while to our central and southern areas. that will push temperatures up to the high 20s here but generally into the high teens, though 20s elsewhere. the details are quite sketchy at the moment and this could change. as we head into tuesday that area will drift northwards. some weather fronts around and the humidity is still there as well so there is the chance of further cloudy weather. a bit of sunshine here and there and the risk of further showers and thunderstorms. central and eastern areas where we will see the highest of the temperatures. mid 20s here with high humidity. further west, turning a little bit fresher. perhaps with some in the day sunshine. by the middle part of the new week we could see this area of high pressure toppling from the atlantic into northern and western areas. that should gale off many of the showers.

it means we could see towards the south of the country, some showers here for the channel islands into the south—west but with the area of high pressure building and it could turn a bit building and it could turn a bhdw building and it could turn a bit dry with increasing amounts of sunshine and slightly cooler, fresher air and we will lose the humidity. high teens and low 20s for many. beyond wednesday into thursday, as we head through into much of next week, it looks like high pressure will dry to bright back. it will always be close by with the risk of liver pressure from the south. the question and the details, you will have to stay tuned to the details. we could see dry weather as we go deep into the early part of september. some warmth across the south as well but showers will never be too far away so stay tuned to the forecast for all the latest details.
