Show answer and explanation
✓ Los consejos insulares
In the Islas Baleares the consejos insulares (island councils) work, one for each large island: Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera. They replace the diputación provincial (provincial council). In Canarias the equivalent body is called a cabildo insular. The two words are often mixed up: consejo insular equals Baleares, cabildo equals Canarias. Diputaciones exist in most provinces of Spain, but not in the archipelagos.
