One of my favourite Spanish words is 'brujería' - witchcraft - 巫術 (巫术) wu1shu4
Oddly - for me - one of the ugliest Spanish words is 'chulería' - maybe it can be translated as 'rowdyism' or 'moxie', but the Spanish conveys a positive meaning, maybe 'courage' is closer - 勇氣 yong3qi4
(Unfortunately the root is 'chula', which is a Gipsy origin slang word in Hungarian, meaning what you spit and it is a bit more dense and green than saliva...
)
