Hello!
I think this one belongs to family Gasteruptionidae.

No, Jokin is right. It is an Ammophila (Sphecidae) in 'sleeping position'. The most common and most probable species with red legs in Spain is Ammophila heydeni. In our gallery we have a photo, quite similiar to this wonderfull picture.

And I also misspelled the family (Gasteruptiidae, not Gasteruptionidae).
It is an Ammophila (Sphecidae)
And that, although I have an
Ammophila as my Windows wallpaper... :o. But that (
A. sabulosa) does not have such a thin abdomen shaft.
