Although the most common way of referring to the sign language in Spain is Lengua de Signos, there has been a recent move to change it to Lengua de Señas. Unfortunately that opened up a big political fight ending in the firing of one Deaf leader and a law suit. Yuck. So, for now we will stick to Lengua de Signos although you are right that the more appropriate term is probably señas.
