Default Beret Insignia ia - possibly Netherlands ?

I have this set of rubberized badges, that I am pretty sure are modern day beret badges. The trouble is I can't identify them. I think they are Netherlands based on the crown, but I really would appreciate any help.

Thank you

I think arm patches from Spain perhaps.

Many thanks.

First Google search shows the para badge as Spanish, then the halberd/crown/crossbow motif as being the Spanish Legion.

Much appreciated.

I would agree with them being Spanish.
As you say the Cross of Burgundy with the parachute is the Parachute Brigade (BRIPAC).

Most of the others are from the Spanish Legion (Legión Española).
The castle/lightning flashes is Signals; the fired grenade is Artillery; CG is Cuartel General (Headquarters) and DCC is Defensa Contra Carro (literally Defence Against Car).

I have a memory that the bat is associated with Valencia for some reason (but wouldn't swear to it).

Hope this helps.

Thank you so much. I have learned quite a bit, especially the Spanish Legion. Interesting stuff.
