my guess would be Discoglossus galganoi even though I haven't seen this species yet in flesh. In my eyes typically are the banded colorations on the back legs and the triangular coloration on the snout.
Kind regards
Noah

That was my first thought, and I did see a number of those around Southern Iberia last week, but I thought that this one could be a Pelodytes.
Unfortunately (for amphibians) conditions were very dry down there last week, and all I found otherwise was a juvenile Pleurodeles under an old tyre in a dried up pond!
Best Wishes
