There are some words but to my knowledge, they are pretty much limited to "spanglish" words such as windsurfista.

Thanks for a thought-provoking question, I never really thought about how Spanish doesn't tend to use "w" as the first letter of words.

When my daughter and I play the Spanish version of Bananagrams (a crossword-type game), we omit the k and w tiles altogether.
Note to teachers: even beginning students love to play it. Note to stinkypatas: love your name.
