There is a mistake naming the streets that affects to most towns in Spain. The mistake is using the preposition "de" between word "Calle" and its name. The 99,9% of -calle- do not have "de". Also in "Avenues" is being used "del", which is incorrect.

Given that the Spanish community is fairly active and most of the names have either been surveyed locally or are from official sources your claim seems to be a bit exotic.

Have you discussed this at all with the national community?

BTW you didn't actually ask a question.

Spanish mailing list is here: https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-es -- suggest you take the matter up with them, to find out if it is something that has been done deliberately or indeed a frequent mistake! There's a tool called "Overpass Turbo" which could easily be used to identify all streets in a given area that care called "calle de something".
