In the meantime will you install a home monitor like those by Xiaomi at about 250€? So that you can see on your phone what's going on in your house while you're away, and call the police immediately if you see that someone is breaking in. It records the images and upload to the cloud too.

It?s unfortunate but true that most rejas (metal grills) provide practically no security.

They are usually set into the typical spain terracotta building ?brick? which, unlike a British brick, have almost no integral strength.   With almost any sort of lever, piece of wood even, they can be forced out of the wall.
