The usual practice is to go to your Ayuntamiento, along with your original and copies of your passport, residencia/TIE, and escrituras of your property if you own one, or rental contract of the place that you a renting if not. Some Ayuntamientos also demand copies of the property owner's documents and his/her last declaración de la renta, in the case of renting, and some don't.

Here is a link to the website of the Ayuntamiento de Torre Pacheco. Link here to the Cita Previa button to click on to make an appointment to register on the Padrón.
