Portuguese police visit waste ground at centre of Madeleine McCann search
Portuguese police have visited the waste ground in Praia da Luz where the search for Madeleine McCann is due to start early next week.
Several PJ officers examined the area on foot and by car yesterday/on Wednesday after travelling to the Algarve holiday resort from their base in Faro an hour's drive away.
Faro police chief Luis Mota Carmo - who has held several meetings with the British detective leading the hunt for Madeleine McCann - led the site survey.
Last night it was reported the area the British police have been given permission to dig up is waste ground near to the spot where a man carrying a girl in pink pyjamas was seen the night Madeleine disappeared more than seven years ago.
It had been thought British police would start their search at fenced-off land next to the Ocean Club holiday complex where Madeleine was staying with her family.
But the Portuguese detectives were spotted going over wasteland next to 25th of April Street, a short walk west from the centre of Praia da Luz.
The large area of scrubland overlooking the Med is the only site British police have so far been given permission to search, Portuguese media reported.
Respected Portuguese daily Jornal de Noticias said a search team with police from the two countries would re-examine the site at the start of next week before cordoning off the areas they intend focusing on.

'Overlooking the Med'? Since when? Has Portugal moved several hundred miles?
When is it going to dawn on the haters that journos frequently write complete pish?
That one even thinks JN is 'respected'.
Just goes to show the haters never, ever care about boring details like facts, as long as whatever they're reading gives them an excuse for yet more of the one-handed typing they enjoy so much.
