Manual:$wgDefaultSkin/es

Detalles
This setting sets the default skin and should be set to the lowercase name of the skin (e.g. 'monobook', not 'MonoBook').

Note that this only sets the default skin. The site renders in this skin to anonymous visitors and to registered users who have not chosen a different skin in Preferences or temporarily overridden the skin. (Use to limit the skins that users can choose in Preferences.)

Changing user preferences when removing a skin
In versions up to at most 1.11, upon registration the value of  was copied to the user preferences; thus setting $wgDefaultSkin to another skin would not have had any effect on registered users, even if they never changed their preferences. And it did not have an effect on registered users, who did change the skin to use.

When you remove a skin from the list of skins to choose from, use the maintenance script Manual:UserOptions.php to make sure that this skin is also not chosen by any user:

This will change the skin for all registered users, who have selected Monobook, to Vector.
