To contribute to the debate on the process of transition to democracy, this research aims at the analysis of the City Counciland Transit tardofranquismo since the death of dictator Francisco Franco until the first democratic elections. Franco Municipalities strongly marked by the figure of the mayor, president of the corporation and visible head of the power of the dictatorship in the municipality, have been little studied by historians, partly because of the transitional political model prevailing until recent years. This requires rebuild historiographical vacuum, first, a state of affairs that we analyzed but also indicated gaps. Second, we draw the overall picture of the two largest municipal leaders whose political mandate will have special significance: Adolfo Rincón de Arellano and Miguel Ramón Izquierdo. The study of mandates, the political profile and the evolution of the municipal institutions allow us to see the features that could have the process of transition to democracy at the local level.
