Over 100 Guardia Civil stopped traffic and questioned drivers in a frantic seach for another child on the Spanish Costas. The reaction was one of disbelief as the family and families demanded a strong response from the Huelva town hall. Gypsy families in Spain are large and have a strong prescense in many Costa Towns and can bring large crowds onto the streets. Not many years ago the police left the city of Granada when there was a dispute between two Spanish gypsy families. The parents of Madeleine McCann say they are "dismayed" at the disappearance of a five-year-old girl in southern Spain so close to the Portuguese border. Mari Luz Cortes vanished from Huelva, which became a focal point in the hunt for their four-year-old daughter.
It is less than two hours away from the Praia du Luz resort in Portugal where Madeleine went missing.
Writing on his blog, Gerry said: "Kate and I were dismayed to learn today that a five-year-old girl has been missing from Huelva, in Southern Spain since Sunday evening.
"As many of you know, Heulva is approximately a two hour drive from Praia da Luz and we went there in early August to publicise Madeleine's disappearance.
