Hooded Crow breeding in Catalonia for the third consecutive year (scroll down). Probably the only breeding records in Iberia.

I guess it's an isolated case (c.f. the Lesser Spotted Eagle). Otherwise, is there some expansion at their range limit further northwest?

This looks like the beginning of a genuine colonisation. Young already fledged at the known site (El Prat de Llobregat). And there is a new breeding pair with chicks about to fledge at Sant Boi de Llobregat which is located some km away from the first.

See details and photos at Rare Birds in Catalonia (scroll down until "Novetats maig 2020 / Bird News May 2020").

Looking at ebird it seems the Hooded crows are now quite well established around Barcelona. Does anyone have any updates on population trends?

Or just one single crow family (maximum of 6 together, but usually singletons) with observations of individuals moving within the Llobregat delta?
