Professional commitments took a backseat as Eva Longoria visited a picturesque Spanish beach with her family on Sunday afternoon.
The former Desperate Housewife stripped down to a red bikini during an appearance in coastal Marbella, where she was joined by husband José Bastón and their young son, Santiago Enrique.
With summer temperatures soaring across the Mediterranean, Eva, 49, rounded off her beach-ready look with a wide-brimmed hat.
The actress appeared to be in high spirits as she rubbed lotion into José’s back while five-year old Santiago made sandcastles at her feet.
The family relocated to Marbella from Los Angeles in 2023 after purchasing a six-bedroom, seven-bathroom mega mansion on the Spanish island.

Eva and and Mexican businessman Jose, 56, recently slashed the price of their eight-bedroom Beverly Hills pad from $22.8 to $18.9 million – and have already started shipping their belongings to their newly renovated Marbella home.
‘Eva and José are leaving Los Angeles for good and have put their home up for sale again,’ a source told DailyMail.com exclusively in April.
‘They took it off the market in June but recently relisted it for $4 million less in February because they are just ready to get out.’
This is still $5.4 million more than what they splashed out to purchase the 11,000 square-foot home in 2017.
‘They are already shipping their belongings there and this is not something that they will change their mind on.
‘They want to raise their son in a place where he will be surrounded by nature and beauty and not be sucked into the whole Hollywood cycle.’
The source added: ‘They are moving to their home in Spain full time and are both so excited about it. She has had everything that she wanted in Hollywood.’
The Desperate Housewives star – who married José in 2016 – purchased a six-bedroom, seven-bathroom mega mansion in Marbella in early 2023, with the couple hiring architect and interior designer Nicolás Escanez to help renovate.

The 1,531-square-meter villa also boasts an indoor pool, sauna, and a state-of-the-art home gym.
In January, Texan-born Eva debuted their luxurious property in Hello magazine and told the publication: ‘The first time I came to Marbella, two decades ago, it was love at first sight. I said to myself: “Some day I’ll live here.”
‘Later, we set up the Global Gift Foundation, and this is where Antonio Banderas, my best friend María Bravo and I held the first gala.’
Speaking about finding the house, she continued: ‘Five years ago, I said to Nico, who’s very clued-up about property: “When you see the right place, let me know.”
‘I viewed a few places, but nothing was quite what I wanted. Finally, in early 2023, this house came on the market. It needed refurbishing, but it had just the size and location I was after.
‘So, taking advantage of the fact that I was in Barcelona filming, I came down and bought it that same day.’
She has spoken openly about her qualms with LA, telling the publication it is ‘always super busy’ and ‘not really so glamorous,’ adding: ‘I’m either on set, or in a meeting, or stuck in traffic… there’s so much traffic.
‘Both LA and Marbella are close to the sea and have wonderful weather year-round, but apart from that, they couldn’t be more different.’
She continued: ‘I don’t have a schedule here. My days are full of activities – paddle tennis, the beach, lunch, drinks, socializing… in fact, they’re full to the brim, but with things I really enjoy.’
Eva has Spanish citizenship and, in 2022, was given the honorary title ‘Dame’ due to her family roots tracing back to the Spanish city of Oviedo, where her ancestors are from.
Eva’s move will bring her closer to her best friend, Victoria Beckham, who lived in Los Angeles in 2007 when her soccer-star husband David joined LA Galaxy.
