The Ministerio de Vicepresidencia del Gobierno has collaborated in organising a conference on rural issues in Spain but I cannot think of a British equivalent

The Office of the Deputy Prime Minister
As the Spanish 'President' is not the head of state, I believe it is usual to refer to him as the Prime Minister. The same would apply to his deputy and his office.
An official press release from 10 Downing Street referenced below refers to Prime Minister Zapatero.
Note that the office of the deputy prime minister was recently abolished in the UK as a cost-saving!

: odpm - good old 2jags. Who's the new one? Definitely a good translation for UK readership, but only if this refers to de la Vega.

Ministry of the (Vice) Presidency
First, make sure it's not "Ministry of the Presidency" as there's no "Ministry of the Vice Presidency" in Spain; instead, the Vice President seats in the Ministry of the Presidency. This is why I placed "Vice" in parentheses, as it should quite probably be omitted. Also, in Spanish government lingo, the First Vice President is seated in the Ministry of the Presidency. As a result of this, the "proper" address order would be: First Vice President, Ministry of the Presidency.

: Vale.- Pero para España, me inclinaría por interpretarlo directamente como "Vicepresiencia del Gobierno", y sugerir un typo.-

: It's not a staff entity but a full-blown Ministry; not an "Office". Respectfully submitted of course. :-)

The Vice-President's office/administration
not very common in UK English as most power is with the PM, but this works...

MikeGarcia
: Also good, but I think it's simply the Vice-President of the Government (i.e. María Teresa Fernández de la Vega) and that there's a typo.-

Office of the First Deputy Prime Minister
Seems to be the correct term to be used or also simply put Office of the Deputy Prime Minister
