Hard to tell from the pic as it's a tad blurry, maybe a Spanish ribbed newt, even looks a bit like a Palmate newt, or an Italian newt.

Not much help really was I Very Happy Would help to have a clear pic, and a pic of its underside.

Yep - Sharp-Ribbed Salamander (Pleurodeles waltl) I have four of them... Easy to keep, eat like crazy, specimens of up to 12" are known...

Here's a photo of two of mine (one is hiding in the background)...
