Owners and tenants of the ten apartments and the commercial premises in the building, the employees of the community...
Antonio Recio
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 personality, and may as well be considered the show's Deus Angst Machina. From Episode 11 of Season 2, he becomes the President of the community until the end of Season 4. He's the longest lasting President of the Community.
- A Friend in Need: In the Season 4 finale, Antonio breaks up with Berta and has nowhere to go so he ends up staying at his friend Enrique's flat. The entirety of the episode (and especially the end) also qualifies. Subverted in Season 5 when Enrique refuses to take a homeless Antonio in. Played straight again in Season 7 when Antonio moves in at Enrique's for the whole season.
- Ambiguously Gay: Although he is often obsessed with women and is an absolute homophobe, his behaviour also suggests that he might not be as heterosexual as he wants to believe.
- In the Season 2 finale, he confessed his love for his friend Enrique, kissed him and told him that he was gay, yet in the Season 3 premiere that fact was not acknowledged by neither Antonio nor Enrique and the writers basically acted like it never happened.
- Throughout the series he's kissed other men, got an erection due to a male massager, masturbated in front of Enrique, it's assumed that he had sex with Enrique once while both were high when they could have hooked up with two sexy women, and has an obsession with Enrique to the point that he cares more about him than about his own wife.
- Ax-Crazy: To the point that sometimes his schizophrenic sister Violeta looks sane in comparison.
- Big, Screwed-Up Family: Antonio is an extremely flawed character, and Berta had an affair and is unhappy with Antonio; their daughter lives abroad and is transgender, much to their parents' disgust; Antonio had a son with Nines through IVF—the boy was a "birthday present" for Berta, but she didn't want more children, and he doesn't care much about either of his sons; Antonio's dead parents were neglectful and in Season 6 he found out he was adopted; his sister Violeta is schizophrenic; Berta's mother is a pessimist who's always in pain and her father despises Antonio; and in Season 7, Antonio and Berta divorce each other, then Berta comes out of the closet and has a short relationship with Enrique's ex-wife Araceli before making up with Antonio again in the season finale.

- Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: He suffered a great deal when he found out that he was adopted in Season 6, and went to great extents to find his beloved mom. He also seemed very affected by his adoptive mother's neglect.
- Even Evil Has Loved Ones: He may be a total jerkass but he still cares deeply about (very few) people even if he treats them horribly most of the time, those being Berta, Enrique and Coque.
- Even Evil Has Standards: He won't accept bribes and will go to great extents to punish corrupt politicians. He also won't kill his loved ones, since he had to hire a hitman to kill Enrique because he couldn't do it himself, and couldn't kill his other friend Coque at gunpoint either.

- Humiliation Conga: The Season 4 finale and episode 7x12 are this for him.
- In the Season 4 finale, he discovers that one of his two friends, Coque, is Berta's lover, loses the presidency of the community because the neighbors despise him and thinks that his best friend Enrique has betrayed him by becoming the new President of the community, so he leaves the building. At the end though Enrique and Coque look for him and the three friends leave together Mirador de Montepinar.
- In episode 7x12, Antonio loses at trial, Rebeca and Judith give him a cruel "The Reason You Suck" Speech that causes him to have a panic attack later on and ends up in the hospital where no one goes to see him showing just how alone Antonio truly is. He then does everything in his power to make up with Berta but she doesn't forgive him and by the end of the episode Enrique throws him out of his house due to being fed up with Antonio's jerkass behaviour. However, Antonio does make up with both Berta and Enrique in the next episode.

- Parental Abandonment: His parents, both his adoptive ones and his birth ones.
- Please, Don't Leave Me: He says a version of this to Enrique and Berta several times.
- "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Many people give this kind of speech to Antonio lots of times, but the most prominent examples are: Episode 4x00, Enrique gives a heartbreaking one to him, and episode 7x12, Rebeca and Judith give another one to Antonio, which leads him to suffer a panic attack shortly after. The season 8 finale is also remarkable.
- Screw the Rules, I Make Them!: He is the longest lasting President of the Community. In the community of neighbors, he is the law.

He is Antonio's best friend, and also has a friendship with Coque and Maxi.
- A Friend in Need: In the Season 4 finale, Antonio breaks up with Berta and has nowhere to go so he ends up staying at his friend Enrique's flat.
