Thanks a lot, Gentlemen, for your input.
Oh, Andrew, i wish it were a seax as you suggest, but i am afraid this one is 'too young' to be so. Also i guess its shape, like the offset tang and blade back, don't look so.
Considering the particulars pointed out by Gonzalo, besides the fact that Spain is just across the border, i would for now elect his suggestion of a Mediterranean style 'cuchillo largo' ('facão' over here).
Nice Indian knife you got there, KuKulzA28.

Thanks again
