El Mundo DATA offers you the possibility to consult in an interactive search engine what was the perception of the mayor of your municipality in the year 2018. You can search directly for a municipality or use filters by province or by dedication to explore the information.

The salaries of the councilors are approved in the Plenary session of each session, amounts that since 2013 are limited according to the population sections of each municipality (those with less than 1,000 inhabitants have no exclusive right of dedication). Among the dedication regimes the following are distinguished: " exclusive " dedication, for those who have had that dedication throughout the year; " partial ", when there is no total dedication or it has not been exclusive throughout the year of 2018; and " without dedication ", when no remuneration is received as salary, but assistance or other types of non-salary perceptions are received.

In total, data are included on the total perceptions of 7,849 mayors , of which 1,256 held the position during the past year without exclusive dedication and another 1,158 did not report their remuneration .

Among those who have not provided the data to the Government are large cities such as Tarragona , Sabadell (Barcelona), Jerez de la Frontera or the Port of Santa María (Cádiz), Leganés (Madrid) or Telde (Las Palmas). There are recidivist town halls, which also did not send in 2017 the perceptions of their mayors, such as those of Granada , Orense , Getafe and Coslada (Madrid), Talavera de la Reina (Toledo) or San Lúcar de Barrameda (Cádiz).
