    Check that you're using the correct case when entering the password.

    PASSWORD, password and PaSsWoRd are all different.
    How do I add a signature?

    Do you mean WiFi or 3G , i.e. Free/Paid WiFi Hotspots or are you using your Sim ?

    Surely as the OP's in Spain they would need to type the password in upper case, shouting is the way us Brits make people understand

    If it's telling you the password is incorrect, that suggests that it is seeing the network and trying to establish a connection with it, but the password is being rejected.

    Are you sure your phone is connecting to Wifi and not the mobile phone network?

    Have you checked that Airport Mode is OFF......If you flew to Spain you might of been asked to switch off all technologies (i.e. put them in Flight Mode / Aeroplane Mode).

    Have you also tried telling the iPad to FORGET NETWORK and then re-establish it as a new connection.

    Have you tried switching off and then on WIFI?

    Are your location settings set up for Spain?....the iPad might think you are still in sunny England :)

    Have you tried switching off and then on again the router?

    Have you reset the NETWORK settings?
