There are few airfields in Spain anyway, so those that there are tend to be major.
Rans,

Suggest you check out the transponder situation for Morocco also. AFAIK, there are no 'small' fields there, with the exception of two hotel strips near Erfud (that's near to the sand dunes of Erg Chebbi) and some military ones that aren't marked on any charts . I've only flown there with a transponder (in fact, IIRC, I've never flown w/o one...), so not sure if you can get in w/o.

Leclairage, there are actually a lot more strips in Spain than meet the (Jepp) eye, most small ones are microlight fields. I am not familiar with the requirements / limitations for micros, but Rans Flyer may actually be in luck. How you transit the LEBB corridor w/o transponder I know not, however...
