I created a blog with all post in english and spanish, but google indexed it as spanish page. I'm investigating the cause.
Does google see the language that I use in google webmaster tools page when I sent my sitemap?
Does google see the country of owner of the domain in whois? In the whois of the domain the country is spain.

reported a bilingual blog being indexed as Spanish. correctly guessed that visible content and page signals matter, and was right to cast doubt on simple meta-tag fixes. Google determines page language from the actual text plus HTML language hints and language annotations (hreflang) and uses documented geotargeting signals such as ccTLDs and Search Console country settings rather than relying on WHOIS. See Google’s guidance on multilingual sites and language annotations for the authoritative list of signals and recommended methods: Manage multi-regional and multilingual sites and the hreflang/localized-versions guidance: Localized versions (hreflang). The HTML lang attribute is the right in-page hint for language: MDN: lang global attribute.

Practical checklist (apply and reindex): keep each language on its own URL (subdirectory, subdomain or ccTLD) rather than mixing languages on one page; add proper language annotations for alternate versions (hreflang); set the HTML lang attribute on each page; use Search Console to set a country target only for generic TLDs (a ccTLD like .es already signals Spain); ensure canonical tags do not point all language versions at a single URL; include language mappings in a sitemap or page-level hreflang links.

Troubleshooting tips: inspect the Google-cached copy and the URL Inspection report in Search Console to see how Google renders and which text it indexed; look at headings, navigation text and internal anchor text for a dominant Spanish signal; confirm hreflang and canonical implementations with the Search Console reports and correct any mismatches, then request reindexing.

That is pretty interesting. I have never encountered that before. Your guess is as good as mine. They could be looking at the WHOIS or considering the density of Spanish words on the page, Google might be assuming your audience would be Spanish speaking visitors and classified you as such.
Let me ask you, is this a problem for you? Who is your audience?
I wonder if these tags would influence Google any differently?
code: <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Language" CONTENT="EN">
<META NAME="distribution" CONTENT="Global">

Those meta tags do nothing for Google or for any major search engine.
