Neruda?

Try him out. Is it necessary to study the technical part of poetry to understand it?

From Spain

San Juan de la Cruz and Fray Luis de Leon

Garcia Lorca

The greatest ones are probably Quevedo and Gongora, although they can be difficult to understand because of their Barroque style, and in the case of Gongora, heavy use of mythology.

With Latin America, I would read Ruben Dario, Neruda and Borges.
Neruda isnt hard to read.

No, it's not necessary, but it certainly helps you understand why a poet wrote a certain poem the way he did.

I also recommend, as other Anons have done, reading Neruda. Start with his 20 poemas de amor y una canción desesperada, and then his Odas elementales. I'm sure you'll like him.

García Lorca's Romancero Gitano is also very famous and rather "easy" to read.

César Vallejo, Jorge Luis Borges, Rubén Darío, Pablo Neruda, Fray Luis de León. No such thing as poetry for beginners. Read poems and work them until you understand.
