Miss Grand Granada is a Spanish provincial female beauty pageant,[1][2][3][4] held annually since 2017,[5] to select representatives from the Province of Granada for the Miss Grand Spain national competition.[6][7]

Since the first competition in the Miss Grand Spain pageant, Granada's representatives have not won the main title yet. The highest placement they obtained was the second runner-up in 2021, won by Luisa Victoria Malz.[8][9]

History

After Vicente Gonzalez acquired the license of 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 Granada, the competition license was granted to a modeling agency, Eva Burgos Escuela de Modelos, which organized the first Miss Grand Granada on 19 May 2017, at the Nevada Shopping Mall in the city of Granada.[5] The competition consisted of 18 finalists from different municipalities,[5] of whom a student from the University of Granada, Paola Morales, was named the first Miss Grand Granada elected through the provincial contest.[10] Previously, Granada once participated in the Miss Grand Spain pageant in 2016 with the representation of an appointed candidate, Elena Maya.[11]

Some municipalities, such as Ogíjares, also held community contests to elect local representatives for Miss Grand Granada.[12]
