I would say this is Nephrotoma submaculosa, quite common in Spain.
See http://nlbif.eti.uva.nl/ccw/ for more details and pictures for this species.
(for example search: Spain, Nephrotoma, habitus).
For more information or identification queries, please reply to p.oosterbroek@chello.nl). Thanks, best wishes.
