Thank you very much bayucca for ID. It could be Pseudochazara hippolyte (Esper, 1784) http://www.juntadeandalucia.es/medioambiente/web/Bloques_Tematicos/Publicaciones_Divulgacion_Y_Noticias/Documentos_Tecnicos/libro_rojo_invertebrados/tomo3/orden_lepidoptera.pdf but as I'm not sure, I'll leave Pseudochazara sp.

Thank you so much. I'll do a bit of research later.

Just take it as a hint for looking further. I think the genus fits quite well. But I am not 100% sure. I don't think it is a Maniola sp. nor is it a Hipparchia sp. Seems to be quite a tricky one. Good luck!
