This is a male chironomid, in the tribe Chironomini. The mid-line structures at the base of some of the abdominal segments suggest Glyptotendipes to me, but I'm not sure whether you have other genera in Spain that might have them too.

I guess getting to know his species will be something impossible ...

Best regards from the south of Spain. :D
