        Hi David,

        When using hreflang, you must always specify a language and a country.

        In your example hreflang="en"  and hreflang="es" are not valid because they don't specify a country to go with the language.

        If you are targeting the US for both languages, you would need to use hreflang="en-us" and hreflang="es-us".

        Aleyda Solis has a great hreflang generator tool if you get stuck: http://www.aleydasolis.com/en/international-seo-tools/hreflang-tags-generator/

        Cheers,

        David
