Following up my own post....
You can get a spanish wordlist via anonymous FTP from
black.ox.ac.uk
in directory wordlists/Spanish

Here is the general README on wordlists there
---------------------------------------------
README 13 July 1992 by Paul Leyland (pcl@black.ox.ac.uk)

This directory (/wordlists) contains a number of sub-directories each
containing compressed wordlists by subject.  The "Random" directory
is a catch-all.

Beware.  There are rather a lot of words in total; there are even
quite a few thousand duplicates.

If anyone has wordlists of languages and topics not present here,
please drop a line to pcl@black.ox.ac.uk, telling me how I can get
hold of them.

All the individual files in the Klein lists are here (not the
aggregated all-words), as are many foreign language dictionaries and
words from a number of technical and leisure fields

Here's the README that enk@cs.vu.nl (Henk Smit) puts in his repository:

=======================================
  This directory contains a number of dictionaries which you can use to
 check to see if your users use easy-to-guess passwords. I can not guarantee
 the correct spelling of all the words in these dictionaries (esp. the dutch
 one), so using them with spelling checkers is at your own risk.

  In the directory papers, there is a paper about password weaknesses by
 Dan Klein.

  There are still a lot of languages of which I do not have a dictionary.
 E.g. I could use a spanish or portugese one. If you have new dictionaries,
 or additional words to enlarge the ones I already have, please send me a
 copy or a reference. I, and all system administrators who try to protect
 their systems, would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

  Unfortunately, I had to remove the french dictionary, because it was *not*
 in the public domain.


                     Henk.
