The language predominantly spoken is Spanish. It's fairly easy to pick up, and your efforts to speak it will be graciously received. If your Spanish breaks down, you should have no trouble finding people who speak English in major cities. Many guided tours offered at museums and historic sites are in Spanish; ask what language will be spoken before signing up.
