Do you have the Spanish localization package installed?  (I believe
it'll be libreoffice-|l10n-es or openoffice-|l10n-es, depending on which
release of Ubuntu you're using.)

Here's the package description for openoffice-|l10n-es for Maverick:

    This package contains the localization of OpenOffice.org in
    Spanish.
    It contains the user interface, the templates and the autotext features.
    (please note that not all this is available for all possible languages).
    You can switch user interface language using the locales system.
    
    Spelling dictionaries, hyphenation patterns, thesauri and help are not
    included in this package. There are some available in separate packages
    (myspell-*, openoffice.org-hyphenation-*, openoffice.org-thesaurus-*,
    openoffice.org-help-*)
    
    If you just want to be able to spellcheck etc. in other languages, you can
    install extra dictionaries/hyphenation patterns/thesauri independently of
    the language packs.
