Show answer and explanation
✓ Cortes Generales
The official name of the Spanish Parliament is Cortes Generales. It is made up of two chambers: the Congreso de los Diputados and the Senado. So the Congreso is only one of the two chambers, not the name of the whole. "Asamblea Nacional" is the name of the parliament of other countries, such as France, but not of Spain. A useful phrase: Cortes Generales equals Congreso plus Senado.
