None other than what I was taught in high school (When I was in high school philosophy was mandatory here in years 11 and 12; as well as an ethics class in year 10 which was also mandatory).

Year 10 Ethics I cannot remember much. I remember having a teacher who came from Eastern Europe I think and had a rather strong accent and watching like one movie in class and commenting on it, but I cannot remember anything about the actual contents of the class.

Year 11 Philosophy was more theoretical and abstract and to be honest I cannot remember much either. I remember even less than year 10 ethics

Year 12 "History of Philosophy" was literally just learning about the philosophy from 5 historical philosophers (Plato, Aristotle, Kant, Marx and Nietsche). This one I actually remember some stuff, but even then it is extremely basic and superficial concepts.

Truth be told, for my career path I don't really think you need philosophy that much.

I will also note that the last education reform made it so year 10 Ethics and year 12 History of Philosophy are now optional and not mandatory, so the current Spanish curriculum with regards to philosophy is even more limited and basic.
