These are at the invitation of @Kakapo but if anyone else can help feel free! No idea how many of these are identifiable from the rather variable photos but may as well give them a go!

After a bit of research, I've been able to identify this one as an Iberian Owlfly, Libelloides ictericus.
 
Not so sure. The angle of the photo doesn't allow to identify it with security, but I would vote probably more for Libelloides longicornis than by Libelloides ictericus. By other hand, I usually saw L. longicornis in more humid, fresh, montane habitats than L. ictericus, that I've found in dry hot gypsy pseudosteppes. Given the other insects commented until now, I would imagine this habitat as more montane and fresh.

As I said recently somewhere in Zoochat, owlflies are my almost favourite insects...
