Which institution governs each municipality?

¿Qué institución gobierna cada municipio?

  1. El ayuntamientoThe ayuntamiento
  2. El cabildoThe cabildo
  3. La diputaciónThe diputación
Show answer and explanation

✓ El ayuntamiento

In each municipality the ayuntamiento (town council) governs, made up of the mayor and the councillors. The diputación (provincial council) governs the province, and the cabildo is the body of the islands of Canarias. That is why it is important to tell the three words apart: municipality with ayuntamiento, province with diputación, Canary island with cabildo. The ayuntamiento is the administration closest to the citizen.
