marprisp,

10 species of Thaumalea are known from Spain -- according to Fauna Europaea.

Based on my experiences in collecting this family (several North American species) they favor a very particular habitat: trickles of water -- with abundant algae -- on steep (often vertical) hillsides. Gently sweep a fine net through these areas and you will soon find adults.
