Not sure if it helps, but I have an Asus Eee 901 with Linux (both xandrox and Ubuntu) and I live in Sweden.
So far I have been able to connect to all open networks I have tested, both in Sweden and abroad, the only ones that haven't worked have locked out my MAC-address (probably all MAC addresses other then a few), but that shouldn't be your problem in Spain since you were supposed to connect to it. I don't know it there is a difference between the 900 model and the 901 model when it comes to the Wifi card. I guess you can buy a modern separate USB Wifi card if your built in card is the problem.
I hope you will have a great trip here even if you can't get the wifi working.
Edit: If it is the WPA2 encryption that doesn't exist and you can't find a new software for it I can recommend installing Ubuntu netbook remix, it is a great operating system.
