It does look very much like this one: Ichneumon Wasp - Enicospilus purgatus. I cant find any information on which ones are found in Spain. I'll set it provisionally as this and see if any more information is forthcoming.

It's an Ichneumon Wasp of some kind. Looks to be one of the Subfamily Ophioninae. Like these:
