Show answer and explanation
✓ El ayuntamiento
Local cultural and sports facilities, such as the municipal swimming pool, the sports centre or the neighbourhood library, are the responsibility of the ayuntamiento (town council). It is the administration closest to the citizen. It also takes care of cleaning, street lighting, water, urban transport and the local police. The ministries set general policies for the whole country, but they do not manage these day-to-day services. Remember: close to you equals ayuntamiento.
