Yes, in a case where the linked content is available in a Spanish version (as for this blog post), we should definitely do so. On Facebook, where we can target by language and country, we routinely do so. On Twitter, where one can't target (yet), there is a bit of a concern that other followers might be get turned off by too much content in languages they don't understand. That's why always include an English summary when tweeting about translations of the Wikimedia Highlights (e.g. https://twitter.com/Wikimedia/status/491424663197978624 ), although in other cases Twitter's character limit might not always leave room for that.
Maria or Ivan, would you like to propose Spanish versions of the messages that were selected here?

I like this tweet above the best.

- f/g: "To mark the 75th anniversary of the arrival of the Sinaia vessel to the Mexican port of Veracruz, the Wikimedia chapters in Argentina, Spain and Mexico ran the First Spanish Republican Exile Edit-a-thon of Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons, and Wikisource on historical facts, biographies and testimonials related to these events." https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/07/21/recovering-the-shared-history/
f/g post LGTM.
- f/g: A negative event in Spanish history is a positive reason to gather Wikipedians in three countries to contribute to the growth of information on Wikimedia projects. https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/07/21/recovering-the-shared-history/
