Just as I suspected.

or you could use:

$ loadkeys qwerty/es

This is because loadkeys recursively searches for keymap in
the /usr/share/keymaps/*/* subdirectories (on your system). Directory
names are sorted alphabetically.

keymaps/i386/azerty
keymaps/i386/bepo
keymaps/i386/carpalx
keymaps/i386/colemak
keymaps/i386/dvorak
keymaps/i386/fgGIod
keymaps/i386/neo
keymaps/i386/olpc
keymaps/i386/qwerty
keymaps/i386/qwertz

as you can see /olpc goes before /qwerty.
