Ayuntamiento de Patones

What Ayuntamiento de Patones does

Ayuntamiento de Patones is the statutory municipal government of the small rural municipality of Patones, located in the Sierra Norte region of the Community of Madrid, Spain. The municipality comprises two population nuclei — the historic Patones de Arriba and Patones de Abajo in the Jarama river valley — and delivers the full spectrum of local public services: registry and administrative procedures, urban planning and licensing, cadastral information (PIC), social services (delivered via the Mancomunidad de Servicios Sociales Sierra Norte), local economic development and employment support, cultural programming, education liaison, healthcare access (consultorio and pharmacy referrals), waste collection (RSU), animal control, and justice of the peace. Revenue is raised through prescribed municipal taxes and fees (ICIO, tasa por utilización de espacios públicos, tasa por expedición de documentos, licencias urbanísticas, aprovechamientos del dominio público, RSU, tenencia de animales) supplemented by grants and transfers from the Community of Madrid and the central government; figures are not publicly disclosed.

The entity operates a multi-channel service platform combining in-person service at the Plaza de la Constitución town hall with digital channels: the patones.net municipal website, a dedicated tourism portal (turismo.patones.net), an Electronic Headquarters (Sede Electrónica) for e-administration, a Transparency Portal, a periodic Municipal Bulletin (in continuous publication since 2012, reaching issue 40 by June 2026), and public video archives of plenary sessions. Citizen engagement channels also include a Centro de Lectura library, a tourism office in Patones de Arriba, a mobile citizen attention office, YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook presences. Underpinning infrastructure comprises LiteSpeed web server and CookieYes / Cookie Law Info for GDPR-aligned cookie consent. The business model is non-commercial: services are either mandatory under Spanish local government law or free at point of use, with funding derived from taxation, fees, and intergovernmental transfers rather than market revenue.

The corporation is led by Mayor-President Luis Arriazu García (PSOE) supported by a 7-seat council (5 PSOE, 2 PP), with functional areas distributed across deputies covering urban planning, culture, tourism, social services, education, environment, sports and personnel. The municipality participates in two inter-municipal associations (Mancomunidad del Embalse del Atazar and Mancomunidad de Servicios Sociales Sierra Norte) for shared water and social-services delivery. Tourism is the principal promotional and economic-development vector, with the municipality marketed as 'El Pequeño Reino de Patones — Un reino de cultura y naturaleza', leveraging its black-slate architectural heritage, Sierra Norte hiking and cycling routes, archaeological sites, the Aula Geológica museum, and rural hospitality.
