Lagria sp.
7mm body length
Balcony, attracted from the surrounding countryside by night light.
Limestone outcrop in foothills of Los Serranos mountains.
Thanks for the ID info, will work through the listed spottings later...
Photo ID in this genus is near impossible. Six species are listed for Spain, and you probably photographed two of them already.
Slender ones are males, and should be compared with males only (females even more similar). In the male above, last antennal segment is almost as long as the preceeding three, while in this one:

it nearly equals five segments.
Though it is unclear, if L. hirta is among yours, and which, if so - better label anything as Lagria sp.:
