Hi and welcome to the forum.

It's very confusing as to what to capitalize in Spanish because it's different than in English.

For example, you don't capitalize the names of languages, so español and inglés are lower case. You don't capitalize days of the week, for example lunes, martes.

However, you do capitalize the names of people and places, like España and Maria.

Here's a lesson on what to write in capital letter and what to write in lower case.

Useful link. What happens when it is the title of a piece, say an essay or newspaper article? Is there a rule for that? - lagartijaverde, Apr 30, 2010

El día que se conocieron.

solamente 'El' que tiene una mayúscula.
