Yes, absolutely. If you spend most of your time in the resorts, you’ll hear as much English and German as Spanish, and menus usually come in multiple languages.
Hotel staff and tour guides are used to sorting things out for people who haven’t mastered more than “hola” and “gracias.” Where you’ll notice the difference is in smaller local places, especially in the north or inland, where English drops off a bit. Even there, pointing, smiles, and a few basic phrases carry you a long way.

Honestly, learning ten or fifteen words makes the whole trip feel easier, but you won’t be stuck if you don’t.
