Hi filippo, this is my spotting for Dodder http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/19183019 also growing over gorse. The very bad smell drew my attention to the plant which was growing over some gorse along a coastal path

Hi, filippo.guenzi. Dodder is really fascinating stuff, parasitic plant that comes in several different colors. Genus Cuscuta includes more than 150 species, but it looks like there aren't that many native to Europe ... so you might be able to narrow it down to the species level.
