Viv at first i thougth that was a minuartia recurva,but then i read that it's a plant of altitude and here we have a very low altitude less than 100m,so i'll continue to research,i id her as minuartia sp

Possibly Stitchwort/Sandwort Antonio, the growth habit is very similar but I can't find a species with the exact same flower form as your spotting
