Or there is Spanish Caravan by The Doors. This was actually a mixture of a Flamenco guitar style called Granadinas and a classical guitar piece called Asturias by Isaac Albeniz. The guitar playing sounded impressive on the record but it is not a great technical challenge. You can get the normal flavor of the intro to Spanish Caravan by playing the B, C and D bar chords at the second, third and fifth frets. They are all the same chord shape which is based on the A major chord shape in the first position. Here is the B bar chord in tab:
e--2--------------------|
B--4--------------------|
G--4--------------------|
D--4--------------------|
A--2--------------------|
E-----------------------|
Now to get the Flamenco flavor into these chords, take the bar off and put your first finger back on the fifth string and let the first string ring open in all three positions.
So now your B chord is:
e--0--------------------|
B--4--------------------|
G--4--------------------|
D--4--------------------|
A--2--------------------|
E-----------------------|
You can also try the same technique by removing the bar from the F major shape, and consuming it up the fretboard to see how it sounds.
Some favorite Spanish songs you could Google are: Compostelana, La Tarara, Volver, Bomboleiro, Bomoleira, Adelita and La Morena de mi Copla. These are all familiar songs that chords, lyrics and tabs should not be too hard to find on the web.
