Spain in the Eurovision Songcontest
Spain debuted in 1961 and have since then participated 62 times. They won the contest twice, back to back in 1968 with ‘La La La…’ & 1969 with Vivo Cantando.
Since 2000 Spain has been a member of the ‘Big 4’, the biggest contributing participants. In 2011 the ‘Big 4’ became the ‘Big 5’. This means that unlike regular participants, Spain doesn’t have to take part in the Semi Finals of the contest, and qualifies automatically to the grand final.
Spain has finished last place 5 times in the contest in 4 different decades. 3 of which with 0 points.
2 years ago Channel collected the bronze medal for her country, and Blanca Paloma got 17th with a true Spanish song, which created a lot of hope in the country of winning the contest for the first time in 54 years
