The English Wikipedia article about the building has a photo of the twin-towered facade, in which some bells can be seen; but it says nothing about them.

The German Wikipedia article about the building has a section about the bells.  The text lists the dates on which La Maria is rung.

The Spanish Wikipedia article about the building has a long section about the bells, with detailed descriptions of each, and photos of most.

The Website of the cathedral opens with a dramatic panoramic photo looking from the ringing platform underneath La Maria across to the south tower and out over the city.

(This work being by various makers, it is not indexed by foundry.)
