Miss Grand Cantabria is a Spanish provincial female beauty pageant founded by Candé Rodríguez in 2019,[1] aiming to select representatives from the province of Cantabria for the Miss Grand Spain national competition.[2][3]
Since first participating in the Miss Grand Spain pageant, Cantabria's representatives won the main title once in 2019, by Ainara De Santamaría.[4] Other featured placements, including the 2016's second runner-up and 2023's fourth runner-up, won by Leticia Burgos and Marina Edilla, respectively.[5]
Cantabria debuted in the Miss Grand Spain pageant in 2016 with the representation of an appointed Leticia Burgosafter, who was previously named the first runner-up in the Miss Teen Spain 2014 pageant.[5] After two consecutive years of absence, the license of Miss Grand Cantabria was then purchased in 2019 by Candé Rodríguez,[1] who organized the first edition of the Miss Grand Cantabria pageant on June 1, 2019, at the Hotel Campomar, Isla,[6] where a model Ainara De Santamaría was elected the winner, outclassing the other 18 finalists.[7] The pageant has been held annually since then.[8][9][10]
