Miss Grand Galicia is a Spanish regional female beauty pageant,[1][2] founded in 2017 by Sylvie Rodríguez of WomanPrivee,[3][4] aiming to select representatives from the community of Galicia for the Miss Grand Spain national competition.[5][6][7]

Since first participating in the Miss Grand Spain pageant, Galicia's representatives have not won the main title yet. The highest placement they obtained was the second runner-up, won in 2025 by Noemí Sartal,[8] followed by the fourth runner-up, won by Iris Miguélez who competed as Miss Grand Costa Gallega in the 2019 national contest.[9]

History

Galicia debuted in the Miss Grand Spain pageant in 2022 after the license was granted to an event organizer, WomanPrivee, led by Sylvie Rodríguez,[3][4] who organized the first contest of Miss Grand Galicia on 17 June 2017, at the Dux Sanxenxo, Sanxenxo,[10][11] in which Carla Soage was named the winner, outclassing the other 39 finalists. However, Carla was unplaced in the national contest held on 8 July of that year in Mairena del Alcor.[12]

In 2023, Jacobo Vázquez Alemparte was in charge of the pageant director.[13]
