Titles of what? Books, plays, movies, magazines, newspapers, journal articles, nobelman, etc.? If you are only generalizing then only general rules can be given.

What Spanish does capitalize are proper names for people, places, newspapers and magazines; abbreviations of personal titles such as Dr., the equivalent of the English "Dr.," and Sr., the equivalent of "Mr."; and the first word in the titles of books, plays, movies and similar works.

Composition titles: In formal written Spanish, titles of movies, books, plays and similar works capitalize only the first word and proper nouns.. La guerra de las galaxias ("Star Wars"), Harry Potter y la piedra filosofal ("Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone") Note: In informal written Spanish, and on book covers and movie posters, it is not unusual to see such composition titles capitalized as in English.
