After a lot of tests, I have been able to fix this creating these two files:

     $ cat /etc/locale.conf
     LANG=es_ES.UTF-8
     LANGUAGE=es:en

     $ cat /etc/profile.d/locale.sh
     LC_ALL=es_ES
     LANG=es_ES
     LANGUAGE=es_ES

After rebooting, I get this localectl settings:

     # localectl
    System Locale: LANG=es_ES.UTF-8
                   LANGUAGE=es:en
        VC Keymap: ES
       X11 Layout: es
        X11 Model: pc105
      X11 Options: terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp

And the 'Ñ' key works as expected:

     root@iwill:~# ñññññ

I don't know how to fix this issue without having to make manual changes to the generated image. I would like the generated image with Spanish support available once the .wic image is burned into my USB memory stick.

Is that posible? How should be managed?

POSIX specifies only how locale settings are determined per-process (from LANG and LC_* env vars). It says nothing about how those variables should be set in the first place. And so every system comes up with its own way to do it. locale.conf is systemd-specific, and won't work with initv. profile.d stuff has effect only in interactive login shells and does nothing for GUI apps. Also, both of these are system-wide and won't work if users want to choose their own settngs. And so on.

Anyway, Yocto does not try to come up with any kind of solution for this. You need to determine the context and use cases where you need the locales to work, and then implement their setting accordingly. If you just want a single global setting, then probably a trivial recipe that installs /etc/locale.conf will work.

Side note: do not set LC_ALL, it's a bad idea. LANG is sufficient.
