Congreso de los Diputados

The Congreso de los Diputados, or the Congress of Deputies, is the lower house of the Cortes Generales, Spain's legislative body. Located in Madrid, its members are elected by popular vote, and it operates alongside the upper house, the Senate. The Congress of Deputies is primarily responsible for the creation and approval of Spanish laws, featuring a more substantial role in legislative processes compared to the Senate. Its composition is proportional to the population of the Spanish provinces, symbolizing the democratic representation of the Spanish people in the government.
