This highly unusual election takes place at the height of summer, after four years of left-wing rule.
Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez called the snap election but Alberto Núñez Feijóo is favourite to win
He has spearheaded a law to bring dignity to victims of dictator Gen Francisco Franco, backed a rule giving workers the right to menstrual leave and laws expanding abortion rights. But he was seen to have won the only head-to-head TV election debate, telling Mr Sánchez he had no right to give lectures on governing pacts as he relied on separatists.
He has led the far-right Vox party he helped found in 2014, and he is known for his controversial declarations. He has said he does not believe in climate change and he has criticised the "totalitarian law of gender ideology", which he claims criminalises men.
