Subject: [CR]Pic of day, Now: Spanish names

While we're on the topic of Spanish riders, can someone explain why Spanish names include alternate "last names"? For instance: Luis Ocaña (Pernia), Miguel Indurain (Larraya), José Maria Jimenez (Sastre). What are the rules structuring spanish names?

Thanks!
