Orbea?

So, I was looking in a Spanish free ad website, and I incurred in a bike that seems like mine, and it says O R B E A in big letters on the downtube.
I believe Orbea is a Spanish brand, I am on Spanish territory so there are high chances that this is a local bike rather than some exotic.

I did a quick google images and saw bicycles with the same lugs, same dropouts and a couple that seem to have eyelets at the front but not at the back.
I found this bike, it looks very much like mine - same lugs, same derailleurs and shifters, no bottle cage fittings:


Some Orbeas had just 2 clips for the rear brake cable as this one

or these ones, older but similar in some details:


Oh, my seat post arrived today, I took off the old one and it didn't go in. After further inspection I noticed that the old seat post had been filed down to fit the frame, and the correct size is 26.0 mm.

Could someone confirm or void my hypothesis please?
