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 on the Marbella coast, where she was accompanied by husband Jose Baston and their young son, Santiago Enrique.
With summer temperatures rising across the Mediterranean, Eva, 49, completed her beachy look with a wide-brimmed hat.
The actress appeared to be in high spirits as she rubbed lotion on Jose’s back while five-year-old Santiago built sand castles at his feet.
The family moved to Marbella from Los Angeles in 2023 after purchasing a six-bedroom, seven-bathroom mega mansion on the Spanish island.

Eva and Mexican businessman Jose, 56, recently reduced the price of their eight-bedroom Beverly Hills apartment from $22.8 million to $18.9 million and have already started shipping their belongings to their newly renovated home in Marbella.
“Eva and Jose are leaving Los Angeles for good and have put their house back on the market,” a source told DailyMail.com exclusively in April.
‘They took it off the market in June, but they recently put it back on the market for $4 million less in February because they’re ready to go.’
That’s still $5.4 million more than they spent to purchase the 11,000-square-foot home in 2017.
‘They are already sending their belongings there and this is not something they are going to change their minds about.
‘They want to raise their child in a place where they are surrounded by nature and beauty and not sucked into the whole Hollywood cycle.’
The source added: “They are moving back home to Spain full-time and are both very excited about it. She has had everything she wanted in Hollywood.”
The Desperate Housewives star, who married Jose in 2016, purchased a six-bedroom, seven-bathroom mega-mansion in Marbella in early 2023, and the couple hired architect and interior designer Nicolas Escanez to help renovate it.

Eva sported heavily tinted sunglasses in her latest appearance on the beach in Marbella on Sunday afternoon.
The family moved to Marbella from Los Angeles in 2023 after purchasing a six-bedroom, seven-bathroom mega mansion on the Spanish island.
The 1,531-square-meter villa also features an indoor pool, sauna and state-of-the-art home gym.
In January, Texas-born Eva debuted her luxury property in Hello magazine, telling the publication: “When I first came to Marbella, two decades ago, it was love at first sight. I said to myself: ‘One day I’m going to live here.'”
‘Later we created the Global Gift Foundation and this is where Antonio Banderas, my best friend María Bravo and I held the first gala.’
Speaking about the house hunt, he continued: ‘Five years ago, I said to Nico, who knows a lot about property, “When you see the right place, let me know.”
‘I looked at several places, but nothing was exactly what I wanted. Finally, in early 2023, this house came up for sale. It needed renovations, but it was just the size and location I was looking for.
‘So, taking advantage of the fact that I was in Barcelona filming, I went down and bought it that same day.’
She has been open about her concerns about Los Angeles, telling the publication that it is “always super busy” and “not really that glamorous”, adding: “I’m on set, or in a meeting, or stuck in traffic… there’s so much traffic.
‘Both Los Angeles and Marbella are close to the sea and have wonderful weather all year round, but apart from that, they couldn’t be more different.’
He continued: “Here I don’t have a fixed schedule. My days are full of activities: paddle tennis, beach, lunch, drinks, socialising… in fact, they are packed, but with things that I really enjoy.”
Eva has Spanish citizenship and, in 2022, was given the honorary title of ‘Dama’ because her family roots go 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 Southern California while her husband David played for the Los Angeles Galaxy before returning to Europe following his move to Paris Saint Germain.
