Anthrax trifasciatus (Bombyliidae) :)
Just in case you are surprised, there used to be two valid species in the Iberian Peninsula:
leucogaster and
trifasciatus.
A. leucogaster used to be the most common and widely present species. However, both in Fauna Europaea and the World Catalogue of Bombyliidae (2015),
A. leucogaster is considered a synonymy nowadays. Otherwise, your fly looks like the former
A. leucogaster to my eyes, although more definition in the picture would be required to be sure.
