I would say Neuroptera - Myrmeleontidae but I'm not sure. :)

Nemopteridae, Nemoptera sp., not bipennis, and from my book I understood there is only one other in the Iberian Peninsula, so...

Looks like bipennis to me, but I'm no expert on this group. ;)

Is bipennis without dubt, it is the only species in Iberian Peninsula. It's probably the most unmistakable of all the Spanish insects.

Well, then I'd better ditch the book. The wing markings for bipennis as illustrated there are different and it mentions two species in Southern Europe, Iberia only...

Yes, in South-East Europe are found Nemoptera coa, but this species not exist in Spain.
There are aother 3 species of Nemopteridae in Iberian Peninsula, but becomes tho other genus: Lertha sofiae, Pterocroce capillaris and Josandreva sazi.
