History
Before establishing the Miss Grand Catalonia pageant, the Catalan representatives to the Miss Grand Spain national contest were determined through two provincial events including Miss Grand Barcelona and Miss Grand Girona.[7]In some cases, the runners-up of these two provincial pageants were later assigned to represent other Catalan provinces that lacked licensees.
