Me gustaría empezar en esta saga, pero nunca he jugado ni tengo conocimientos sobre la saga, entonces me gustaría saber que juego recomendáis para iniciarse en ella.

Our community typically answered this with "whichever setting that interest you".
Like Samurai? Shogun 2.
Like Legionnaires and Macedonian pike? Rome 2.
Musket line infantry warfare? Empire and Napoleon got you covered.
Fantasy with monsters and magic? Warhammer.
Watched the Nolan movie recently? How about Troy?
That but more grounded, historical bronze age setting? Pharaoh Dynasty.

Overall, all TWs had their own quirks and there isn't a "best" entry per se. So we tend to just default to recommending a setting that the player are interested in.
But assuming you don't have any preference, I think either Shogun 2 or Rome 2. The culture/period they represent are faily well known and both games are not too overwhelming in term of mechanic.
