What sort of bug is this - from Spain..

[stevewestern]

Any ideas - about 5-6 cm long, and in no rush to attack me...

Steve be careful with that one buddy it looks like a blister beetle, google blister beetle for info on this family.
Found it to be Red striped oil beetle ( Meloe majalis) or blister beetle. Linky for you

Cool looking bug, will keep an eye out for one of those.
