Are you within 24 hours of your flight? If not, see below.

Translated, Iberia is saying choose your seat and get your boarding pass as soon as you purchase your flight for all IB/I2/YW flights, except those to/from those countries. For most if not all of those countries, online check-in is available, but only 24 hours before departure, or from midnight the day before.

Then you get the message: "Ha habido un error. Por favor, inténtelo más tarde." Rinse and Repeat.
This is the sort of error you would get when online check-in is open - and I believe if it actually is open (as opposed to "checking-in" when you book the flight) - and something is wrong. OP, is this your problem?
