Two small devices exploded near the Spanish resort of Malaga today and police closed a key road in their search for a third.
However, authorities said nobody had been hurt after bomb warnings had been received.
Police cleared a packed beach in Malaga before the first explosion and later had to move what Spanish media said were thousands of people from a marina in the nearby town of Benalmadena before the second blast.
'Two devices exploded, in Benalmadena and on Guadalmar beach in the (provincial) capital. They were of little power and did not cause injuries or physical damage,' said a spokeswoman for the office of the central government in Malaga.
Police also closed Spain's main coastal motorway while they hunted for the third device, which was later rendered harmless.
The incident triggered travel chaos on what is traditionally one of the busiest weekends of the year on Spanish roads.
Last month ETA exploded four small bombs at popular seaside resorts in the north of the country, marking the start of its usual summer bombing campaign to disrupt one of the most important sectors of the Spanish economy.
