Selected
the Management Commission of the Municipality of Marbella
To translate this term you have to know the background. The corrupt City Council of Marbella was dismissed by the government and a commission of trustees has been installed to run the town till the next elections. In fact the full title of the Gestora is 'la Comisión Gestora' (you can look it up in Google).
So Ayuntamiento here is neither the city council (which has been deposed) nor the town hall as a physical entity.

Incidentally, none other than Vladimir Putin referred scathingly to the corruption in Marbella at a recent meeting with heads of the European Union governments.

Any of these, or Manuela's answer appear in the trusty Collins
It wouldn't be in connection with... development backhanders and a lady mayor, etc, who recently spent some time behind bars?
