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

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 fourth runner-up, won by Iris Miguélez who competed as Miss Grand Costa Gallega in the 2019 national contest.

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] who organized the first contest of Miss Grand Galicia on June 17, 2017, at the Dux Sanxenxo, Sanxenxo, in which Carla Soage was named the winner, outclassing the other 39 finalists. However, Carla was unplaced in the national contest held on July 8 of that year in Mairena del Alcor.

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