I am not really a slug expert, although I am, depending on the weather, deposing millions of slugs every year in the forest (we would never kill the slugs!). Yours might also be Arion vulgaris, which is commonly found in the southern parts of Europe. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_slug For all Arion sp. the distribution is not fully clear, so the one I IDed yesterday might be the same as this one or this one is the same as the other one ;-)...

I love the fly sitting on the beautiful slug!
