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]
Alicante joined the Miss Grand Spain for the first time in 2017 represented by the appointed Isa Soguero.[9]
In the 2023 Miss Grand Alicante competition, the Miss Grand Albacete was also named.[10][11]
