Bien al contrario pienso yo dar medio
a tanto mal, pues el Amor bien sabe
que no tiene enemigo que le acabe
con más facilidad que tierra en medio.
Tierra quiero poner, pues que remedio,
con ausentarme, Amor, rigor tan grave,
pues no hay rayo tan fuerte que se alabe
que entró en la tierra, de tu ardor remedio.
Todos los que llegaron a este punto,
poniendo tierra en medio te olvidaron;
que en tierra al fin le resolvieron junto.
Y la razón que de olvidar hallaron
es que amor se confiesa por difunto,
pues que con tierra en medio te enterraron.

I feel like this is true to a certain extent. Relative to the number of Spanish speakers there's little of value. Especially compared to the German, French and the Irish there's very little to show.
Garcia Marquéz and Cervantes are obvious picks, Borges and Bolano if you know your shit. But apart from that... England (not GB/UK!) is similar. The yanks really out-wrote them, despite all odds.

Aquí yace OP de la Florida,
y dicen que le hizo buen provecho
a Satanás su vida.
Ningún coño le vio jamás arrecho.
De Herodes fue enemigo, y de sus gentes,
no porque degolló los inocentes,
mas porque, siendo niños, y tan bellos,
los mando degollar, y no jodellos,
pues tanto amó los niños, y de suerte
(inmenso bujarrón hasta la muerte)
que si él en Babilonia se hallara,
por los tres niños en el horno entrara.

¡Oh tú, cualquiera cosa que seas,
pues por su sepultura te paseas,
o niño o sabandija,
o perro o lagartija,
o mico o gallo o mulo,
o sierpe o animal que tengas cosa
que de mil leguas se parezca a culo:
Guárdate del varón que aquí reposa,
que tras un rabo, bujarrón profundo,
si le dejan, vendrá del otro mundo!

No en tormentos eternos
condenaron su alma a los infiernos;
mas los infiernos fueron condenados
a que tengan su alma y sus pecados.
Pero si honrar pretendes su memoria,
di que goze de mierda, y no de gloria;
y pues tanta lisonja se le hace,
di: «Requiescat in culo, mas no in pace.»

Firstly I named four so I'll assume you are either unable to count or think Garcia Marquez is two. Secondly OP is obviously wrong or using a hyperbole. But the point stands. You can name loads of German/Germanophone authors (Goethe, Schiller, Lessing, Büchner, Mann, Hesse, Kafka...) or Russians (Dostoyevski, Gogol, Tolstoi, Pushkin, Turgenev, Bulgakov...) of undisputed high merit. Now please name more Spanish writers of that calibre. Protip: Carlos Ruiz Zafon is not one of them.

I'll assume you're autistic and interpretate everything in a literal way.
Also,
>what's el Siglo de Oro?
Even tho, I'll agree with you that most spanish writers afterwards just tailgated the foreign tendencies with more or less success or literary merit.
I feel like you're just namedropping some notorious writers and following it with some ellipsis desu. There is no discussion to the merits of Dostoyevski or Gogol, but I don't know why is Hesse standing next to Goethe. I neither know why should Cela be considered inferior to Bulgakov. Russian literary production peaked during the XIX century and everything after that was pretty mediocre. I'd say same happened to Spain after el Siglo de Oro. Other countries, say France, were more constant.
