History

edit

Galicia debuted in the Miss Grand Spain pageant in 2022 after the license was granted to an event organizer, WomanPrivee, led by Sylvie Rodríguez,[3][4] who organized the first contest of Miss Grand Galicia on 17 June 2017, at the Dux Sanxenxo, Sanxenxo,[8][9] in which Carla Soage was named the winner, outclassing the other 39 finalists. However, Carla was unplaced in the national contest held on 8 July of that year in Mairena del Alcor.[10]

In 2023, Jacobo Vázquez Alemparte was in charge of the pageant director.[11]
