The parents of four-year-old Madeleine McCann, who was abducted in Portugal four weeks ago, are taking the search for their missing daughter to Spain today.
British couple Kate and Gerry McCann will take part in a Spanish television programme dedicated to missing children and hold a press conference for international media, seeking for any information about their missing daughter.Among those they hope to meet are British ambassador Denise Holt, Alfredo Rubelcaba, Spain's interior minister, as well as representatives from child welfare groups and anti-paedophile organisations.
The McCanns have expressed interest in raising the general issue of child abduction as well as appeal for information about their daughter as they travel to Madrid.
Today's trip is the second of a series of visits around Europe Madeleine was snatched from her bed in the Algarve resort of Praia da Luz.
On Wednesday, the couple were in Rome for a meeting with the Pope, who blessed a photograph of their daughter and prayed for the family. The McCanns, who are devout Catholics, also handed out missing posters of Madeleine written in Italian before leaving the country.
Next week, the couple plans to travel to Berlin, Amsterdam and Morocco to highlight her abduction and put the spotlight on cases of missing children around the world.
On Tuesday, the McCanns released the last video footage of their daughter taken before her disappearance on 3 May. She vanished after her parents left her and her siblings alone in their room while they went to a nearby tapas bar inside their hotel complex.
