I don't think they do have synchronous condensers on the peninsula. I know they've done some synchronous condenser stuff on the Canary Islands, but as far as I have learned, there are no synchronous condensers on mainland Spain.

It seems to me like there were at least three frequency oscillation events that the grid handled well before the grid broke. So I wonder if they had run out of tools to stabilize the grid after so many issues in a relatively short period
