History
La Rioja debuted in the Miss Grand Spain pageant in 2022 after a model and event organizer Yajaira Ysturis Martínez obtained the license,[2] and subsequently organized the first contest of Miss Grand La Rioja on 26 March 2022, at the Bodegas y Viñedos Heras Cordón, Fuenmayor, in which Elena Prado Marin was named the winner, outclassing the other nine finalists.[5] However, Elena was unplaced in the national contest held on May 22 of that year in Las Palmas.[6]
