The Presidente del Gobierno (literally the "President of the Government") is the Head of Government.
The Presidente del Gobierno is the Head of Government in Spain. The King of Spain nominates a candidate for the presidency who stands before the Congress of Deputies for a Vote of Confidence, effectively an indirect election of the head of government by the elected Congressional delegates. By political custom established by Juan Carlos I of Spain since the ratification of the 1978 Constitution, the King's nominees have all been from parties who maintain a plurality of seats in the Congress.
That seems to me to make him not only the head of government, but the political leader as well.
Therefore the answer to your question is: The current political leader of Spain is the current Presidente del Gobierno, Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero.
