I might be wrong, but 人 seems redundant when 西班牙 can already modify 朋友. "Spain-people-friends" versus "Spain-friends".

The 的 is required between an adjective with 2 or more syllables and a noun. In this case, "Spain" and "friend" are two nouns that form a compound noun meaning Spanish friend(s). You will also see French cuisine is 法国菜 and doesn't require 的.
