✓ El alcalde y los concejales

The ayuntamiento (town council) is made up of the mayor and the councillors (concejales). The councillors are elected in the municipal elections, and the mayor comes from among them. The pleno is the meeting of all the councillors. The ayuntamiento manages local services: cleaning, lighting, local police or urban transport. Deputies and senators belong to the Cortes (the Spanish parliament), and the consejeros to the government of a comunidad autónoma.
