In Spain, there are 33 town councils that have not changed their mayor in at least the last 40 years, that is, since the restoration of democracy in Spain. Castilla y León is the community in which there are most mayors with at least 4 decades in office, with 9, while there are none in the Basque Country, Asturias, Murcia, the Canary Islands, the Balearic Islands and La Rioja. Of those 33 mayors, 22 will seek re-election on May 26. In Spain, especially in smaller municipalities affected by depopulation, being mayor can be a lifelong job. This is the case of 33 town councils with between 32 and 21,000 inhabitants and which have only known a single mayor in at least the last 40 years, that is, since the first municipal elections of democracy were held in 1979.

However, 11 of these long-term mayors have been in office since before those elections, with 9 of them appointed during the Franco regime  and another 2 chosen by the civil governors in 1976 and 1977. The other 22 managed to be elected in the first appointment with the polls and have achieved reelection on 9 occasions. And although their tenure in office ranges SW Business Directory between 55 and 30 years, 22 of them will stand for re-election in the municipal elections on May 26 . The remaining 11 have decided to retire after a long career or have been removed, as in the case of Ángel Prada from Zamora, who had to resign from the mayor's office of Rosinos de la Requejada in 2018 after being convicted of prevarication .
