Antonio is a fish wholesaler who lives with his wife Berta in the apartment 1-C. He has a transgender daughter who lives abroad, Alba, and a schizophrenic sister, Violeta. He is good friends with Enrique and Coque, but practically everyone else hates him due to his anti-social and [[JerKass Jerkass]] personality, and may as well be considered the show's DeusAngstMachina. From Episode 11 of Season 2, he becomes the President of the community until the end of Season 4. He's one of the most popular characters from the series, and the longest lasting President of the Community.

Amador is married to la Cuqui and has four children, but one of them, "Ojos de Pollo", is not biologically his as his wife had an affair with Sergio Arias in Season 2. Amador ends up getting fired from the bank he worked for as a result of having to apply for parental leave, and has been hired and then fired from his multiple jobs countless of times ever since. He divorced la Cuqui in the third season, but remarried in the Season 6 premiere. Amador and his family end up homeless after being evicted by the bank, and la Cuqui has to serve time in jail because of thefts in her workplace. His best friend is Leo, and he's also good friends with Javi, Vicente and Maxi. Amador is one of the most popular characters, on par with Antonio.

* EasilyForgiven: Played UpToEleven when it comes to Judith's and Antonio's wrongdoings. In one episode from Season 4, Antonio wrongly thought that Enrique was Berta's lover, and hired a hitman to kill him. In the next episode they were friends again, and only three episodes later, Enrique resigned as President of the Community which was what he had always wanted the most for Antonio.

** [[AvertedTrope Averted]] in Season 7, when he begins to show interest in having sex, albeit it's only a brief phase.

* NotSoDifferent: With Enrique, who starts acting more and more like Antonio as time goes by. He even lampshades it in one episode from Season 7 when he says that he spends too much time with Antonio after suggesting he kills a neighbour, much to Araceli's astonishment.
