IGN Spain open data for non-commercial use, this is a terrific start.
(IGN are the closest Ordnance Survey moral equivalent here)
It's worth looking at this alongside the recent study on the
social-economic benefits of participation in data sharing
infrastructure in Catalunya for a sense of the policy progress towards
public geodata in Spain (at least, in parts of it!).

Good news, everyone!
I think I must be dreaming today. This is too good news to be true.
An Order of Ministry was issued yesterday:
http://www.boe.es/g/es/bases_datos/doc.php?coleccion=indilex&id=2008/06229&txtlen=1000
Basically, it is the data policy for the geo information made by the
spanish national mapping agency (IGN). And it looks very, very nice.
I really have to discuss the wording with a local lawyer. As far as I
understand it, some of the data is available on an attribution-only basis;
the whole rest is available for non-commercial uses.
Anyway, this is still good news even if the data is for non-commercial
uses. Take that, NMA's with restrictive licesing! 
Cheers all,
