Try this:

At the http level.

map $http_accept_language $is_english {
   default 0;
   ~^en  1;
}

map $http_accept_language $is_spanish {
   default 0;
   ~^es  1;
}

location / {

  expires 30d;

  if ($is_english) {
     return 301 /en;  
  }

  if ($is_spanish) {
     return 301 /es;
  }

  location /es {}
      
  location /en {}

  try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?ctr=$uri;
}

location ~\.php$ {
  # PHP stuff
}
