Since the first competition in the Miss Grand Spain pageant, Almería's representatives have not won the main title yet. The highest placement they obtained was the third runner-up in 2023, won by a Romania-born model, Denisse Vivienne Andor,[5][6] who later dominated herself as the Romanian representative for the Miss Grand International 2023 pageant in Vietnam.[6]

History

edit

Since Vicente Gonzalez began franchising the provincial competitions to individual organizers in 2016, the province of Almería sent its representatives to compete five times, with three annual editions of the Miss Grand Almería pageant being held.[2][7][3] The inaugural edition of the contest happened in 2018, and 24-year-old Lucía Peregrín was named the first Miss Grand Almería elected through the provincial pageant.[2] Previously, Almería joined the Miss Grand Spain 2016 contest with the representation of an appointed candidate, Laura Funes.[8]
