When analysing the salaries, it is crucial to consider the amount of time they each dedicate to their government responsibilities. Larger towns usually have mayors who are full-time, resulting in higher salaries. Conversely, other municipalities may have partial or no dedication, so their salaries are significantly lower. The highest Paid Mayors in Spain are in Madrid, earning 108,518 euros per year, and Barcelona (104,240 euros) Meanwhile, in Alicante province, the highest-earning mayor was Luis Barcala of Alicante, who received a total of 79,060 euros while the mayor of Elche took home 66,944 euros. Mayors earning just below 60,000e per year include those of Sant Joan d'Alacant (57,721e), El Campello (57,712 e), Pilar de la Horadada (56,517e), Denia (53,000e), Crevillent (52,684e), Benidorm (50,696e).
