History
After Vicente Gonzalez acquired the license of 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 Huelva, the first provincial contest of Miss Grand was organized by a local organizer, Ylenia Ruiz,[8] on 10 June 2016, at the Teatro España, La Palma del Condado,[4] with candidates from 12 municipalities involved.[8] Of whom, a model María Rocío Báñez was named the first Miss Grand Huelva.[4][7] Báñez later competed at the national pageant Miss Grand Spain 2016 and was placed among the top 10 finalists.[7]
