It is "español": without upper-case initial, and with a eñe. By the way,
the name of the language rather ought to be "castellano" (Castillian),
particularly if you are in the vicinity of Barcelona, València, Bilbo or
A Coruña (as you see, this is an example of a language with different
"native" name, which is an added problem to you). OTOH, "español" have the
added value to make it easier for foreigners to understand what it means.
Back question: should it be ,,deutsch'', or ,,Deutsch'', in such a context?
