Miss Grand Catalonia (Catalan: Miss Grand Catalunya) is a Spanish regional female beauty pageant founded in 2022,[1][2] aiming to select representatives of the four Catalan provinces—Barcelona, Tarragona, Lleida, and Girona—for the Miss Grand Spain national competition.[3][4][5]
Since the first competition in the Miss Grand Spain pageant, Catalan representatives have not won the main title yet. The highest placement they obtained was the top 9 finalists, won by Ainhoa González Pérez, who represented Tarragona in the 2021 national event.[6]
History
Before establishing the Miss Grand Catalonia pageant, the Catalan representatives to the Miss Grand Spain national contest were determined through two provincial events including Miss Grand Barcelona and Miss Grand Girona.[7][8][9] In some cases, the runners-up of these two provincial pageants were later assigned to represent other Catalan provinces that lacked licensees.[10][11]
