You can see the differences in the layout between Apple's two Spanish language keyboards in the images below. They are primarily at the right edge. The Spanish keyboard has a key printed with Ç (for use in Catalan) while the Latin American keyboard does not. Spanish has @ on Option 2, while Latin American has @ on Option Q. Spanish has square and curly brackets on the Option level. The keys with orange borders are dead keys for making accented characters.
