Today I sighted this gull in Madrid, I think that can be a HG, unfortunately I cannot see the tail and inner primaries.
I appreciate any comment.

More likely a smallish (female) Yellow-legged...

Agree with Cristian,
a female Mediterranean michahellis for me.
Quite fresh wing feathers indicating extensive post-juvenile moult is a good point to YLG.
