The Senado is the chamber of territorial representation of the Cortes Generales (the Spanish parliament): its members represent the provinces, islands and comunidades autónomas. The other chamber is the Congreso de los Diputados, which represents all the citizens and has more weight in voting laws and in choosing the Prime Minister. Together they form the Cortes Generales.
