Are you asking whether you can install an English version of Vista on
a computer bought in Spain?

Certainly.

If you bought a retail version of Vista in English, deleted the OS
that's currently on your machine, and installed the new one, yes that
would work. Be SURE you have drivers for all your equipment before
trying this.

If you have Vista Premium, you can get language packs to switch
languages. The lesser versions of Vista don't do this.

In another thread on this topic, this site was mentioned:
http://www.froggie.sk/. The site claims to allow you to use the
language packs with *any* version of Vista. At least one poster had
reported having success with this package. I know nothing about it
myself.

That's Ultimate that allows switching languages, I believe.
