Fucking hell man, you've already received plenty of examples.
That being said: Concierto Barroco by Alejo Carpentier is a masterpiece that, in my opinion, encapsulates the entire Spanish language - and therefore much of Hispanic Culture - in a brilliant few pages.
As Carpentier would describe it, the novel is akin to Baroque itself, a caged sun.

Very well.
Don Quixote (Cervantes)
The Bible (Reina-Valera)
Concierto Barroco (Carpentier)
Ficciones and El Aleph (Borges)
Cien Años de Soledad (García Márquez)
El Túnel (Sabato)
Artemio Cruz and Terra Nostra (Fuentes)
El Buscón and Marco Bruto (Quevedo)
Episodios Nacionales (Galdós)
Yo, el Supremo (Roa Bastos)
Facundo (Sarmiento)
Oráculo Manual (Gracián)
El Castillo Interior (Santa Teresa)

Those are in the opinion of a very well read native, some standouts prose-wise. Now please stop with the same post and try reading one or two.

The anon that is insulting you isn't me, I wrote the prior list and the first response.
I do have a few other works in mind however, in spanish, I am much better read in poetry and theatre than prose proper.
I did not, and it was folly, mention Cortázar - he's great as well. For some reason Becquér's prose is incredible to me, far beyond his verses.
