Hi Iago,

You'll find the relevant documentation by typing "info 
'(groff)Manipulating Hyphenation'" at your terminal...

This is what I use:

.\" eshyph.tmac
.\"
.hla es
.hy 14
.hcode á a é e í i ó o ú u ü u ñ n
.hpf eshyph.tex

This file is located in /usr/share/groff/site-tmac and the referenced 
file is an *unmodified* copy of the CervanTeX Spanish hyphenation 
patterns file, version 4.0a.  This file is available in the CTAN mirrors 
and probably in your system if you have teTeX installed. In the latter 
case, you can just use the full path to avoid copying it to the 
site-tmac directory (most probable location: 
/usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/hyphen/eshyph.tex).

To activate Spanish hyphenation you either:

1. Include a line at the top of the file:
  
   .mso eshyphen.tmac

2. Load it in the command line *after* the main macro package:

   groff -ms -meshyph blah.tr | ps2pdf14 -dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress - blah.pdf
