Miss Grand La Rioja is a Spanish provincial female beauty pageant founded by Yajaira Ysturis Martínez in 2022,[1][2] aiming to select representatives from the province of La Rioja for the Miss Grand Spain national competition.[1][3]
Since first participating in the Miss Grand Spain pageant, La Rioja's representatives have not won the main title yet. The highest and only placement they obtained was the first runner-up, won by Alejandra León in 2023.[4]
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]
