Is spanish or german more useful for traveling in Europe? (hexbear.net)

I'm planing on backpacking across Europe next year and I hate being the dipshit who only speaks one langue. I already have a small amount of german and spanish so those are the only two I'm interested in. I get the impression that outside of Spain spanish isn't spoken much but I do plan on traveling south america at some point too so spanish is going to be needed eventually.

Spanish in Italy, maybe France and Portugal. German in Eastern Europe.

As long as you don't speak to boomers, most people should at least know basic English.

Spanish in Italy
