Answer
Why can a smaller municipality in Mallorca pay its mayor more than Palma does?
A salary ranking does not always follow population size. The published figures do not explain the full calculation behind each pay level, so factors such as responsibilities, budget size, or local administration may play a role, but they are not listed in a uniform way.
