- portero
- A superintendent in an apartment building who looks after it, keeps it clean, delivers mail, and keeps an eye on comings and goings. Porteros often have an apartment in the building as part of their pay.
Many buildings no longer have porteros. In these cases, access is regulated by a portero automático (intercom).
The portero, and particularly the female portera, are part of popular culture. They have a reputation for being inquisitive and fond of gossip.
