Miss Grand Alicante is a 2022-established provincial female beauty pageant in Spain,[1][2][3] that aims to select representatives from the province of Alicante for the Miss Grand Spain national competition.[3][4][5]

Since the first competition in the Miss Grand Spain pageant, the highest placement obtained by Alicante representatives was the top 11 finalists, won in 2017 by Isa Soguero.[6]

History

After Vicente Gonzalez acquired the license for Miss Grand Spain in 2015, he began franchising the provincial competitions to individual organizers, who would name the provincial representatives to compete in the national pageant the following year. In the province of Alicante, the license was granted to a Venezuelan Yajaira Ysturis Martínezthe,[7] who organized the first Miss Grand Alicante competition in 2022, with 11 contestants from different municipalities participating. Of whom Yamila Heredia was named the winner.[8]

In the 2023 Miss Grand Alicante competition, the first Miss Grand Albacete was also named in addition to crowing the Alicante representative.[9][10]

Before 2022, Alicante joined the Miss Grand Spain pageant twice; in 2016 and 2017, but both representatives were appointed.[11][12]
