Accessing Spanish cadastral data through WFS and QGIS

There is the Servicios INSPIRE de Cartografía Catastral webpage, listing ways to access Spanish cadastral data.

The listed WFS link is: http://ovc.catastro.meh.es/INSPIRE/wfsCP.aspx?. However, when add this source to QGIS as a WFS layer, I get this error message:

There is also the Descripción del servicio link. Using that, I figured I might need to use this link: http://ovc.catastro.meh.es/INSPIRE/wfsCP.aspx?Version=2.0.0. I can add this to QGIS via Layer -> Add Layer -> Add WFS Layer..., and seem to be able to connect to the service:

I Add, but then if I zoom to Spain in canvas, I get:

enter image description here

ie the error message:

Layer cp:CadastralParcel: Download of features for layer cp:CadastralParcel failed or partially failed: Server generated an exception in GetFeature response: Area of extension out of limits. You may attempt reloading the layer with F5

How can I solve the issues above or access Spain's land parcel data otherwise?

My main aim is to be able to download parcel data in vector format (that's why I'm trying the WFS and not the WMS service).
