Spain in the Eurovision Song Contest

Spain was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 1964 with the song "Caracola", written by Fina de Calderón, and performed by the band Los TNT. The Spanish participating broadcaster, Televisión Española (TVE), selected its entry through a national final and, subsequently, the performers internally.

Before Eurovision

National final

Televisión Española (TVE) selected its entry during the TV show Gran Parada, hosted by Carmina Alonso and Ana María Solsona in Barcelona. It was the viewers that decided the winning song by sending postcards by mail. Each song was presented twice by two different singers. In the final that took place on 18 February, the song "Caracola" performed by Michel and Teresa María, respectively, was proclaimed the winner. After the show, TVE internally chose Los TNT, who had not taken part in the final, to perform the song in Eurovision.^[1]^[2]
