Lynx will handle Spanish if the following are true (and in some other
conditions):

- the page is in ISO 8859-1 (the default for HTML);

- the curses library, or equivalent, is 8 bit clean (telling us
  how non-ASCII characters display would help us to diagnose this and
  other problems [1]);

- the connection to your terminal is 8 bit clean;

- your terminal is capable of and configured for ISO 8859-1.


[1] reverse video is indicative of a limited curses library, special but
wrong characters would indicate a wrong source or display character set;
a few examples might allow to work out which.
