There are quite a few in Spanish and as Chileno pointed out if we take accents into account, there are a whole lot more with the "seseo" and "ceceo". For example "sebo" and "cebo" would be homophones in Latin America and Andalucía.

Homonyms (both homophones and homographs) off the top of my head:
haya/aya/halla
tubo/tuvo
casa/casa
a/ha
sierra/cierra
delfín/delfín
cuesta/cuesta
asa/asa
copa/copa
mango/mango
vaca/baca
