Subsequently Bea joined Real Valladolid, scoring three goals in 35 games as the Castile and León team returned to La Liga in 2007 after a three-year absence, but being less used in the following years – only seven matches in the 2007–08 campaign. He made his debut in the main category on 28 October 2007, featuring 45 minutes in the 2–2 away draw against CA Osasuna.

In July 2009 Bea was released, moving to division two with Real Murcia, being relegated in his first and only season and being subsequently released. Aged 32 he had his first experience abroad, signing a 1+1 contract with Austrian side FC Wacker Innsbruck. He made his Bundesliga debut on 18 July 2010, playing the entire 4–0 home win over SK Rapid Wien.
