Show answer and explanation
✓ Diputación provincial
The government of the provinces belongs to the diputaciones provinciales (provincial councils). They help small municipalities and coordinate services between them. In Canarias, the islands are governed by cabildos, and in the Islas Baleares, by consejos insulares. Do not mix up the diputaciones provinciales with the Congreso de los Diputados, which is a chamber of the Cortes Generales (the Spanish parliament) and has no relation.
