I received the specimen and it is definitely a Boreoheptagyia larva. According to Fauna Iberica There should be only one species in Spain: B. legeri, so it may well be the larvae of this species. Very typical are the dorsal tubercles on the head, the circular arranged claws on the posterior parapods and the brownish pattern of small spines on the body. I have added some pictures to give you an idea.
