yes people from Spain are Latin

The answer depends on how you use the word "Latin.

Spanish is a romance language based on the Latin language of the Romans as are French, Italian, and Portuguese. People from Spain are a composite of Mediterranean and Nordic types.

However, if you ask in the sense of the word "Latino" then the answer is no. Latino refers to person from the Americas whose language is based on either Spanish or Portuguese.

Latino ancestry, cultures, customs, food, dress, and sometimes religious beliefs are in large part composites of the people who were indigenous to the local area, imported slaves, and only to a much lessor extent by intermingling with European immigrants.
