    Technically, Spain’s king holds some power. He is the highest military authority (he holds the title of General Captain of the whole army) and he has to sign any law before it can core to effect. If he doesn’t sign it, the law won’t pass. Although it’s more of a formal fignature, he could not allow a law to pass if he wanted.
