Miss Universe Spain 2018 is the 6th edition of the Miss Spain pageant. Last year, on 24th September, Sofia Del Prado wore the Miss Universe Spain crown with grace. She was crowned Miss Universe Spain after competing with 40 finalists. Noelia Freire crowned her successor last year, and now Miss Universe Spain 2017, Sofia Del Prado will be doing the same.
Miss Universe Spain wrote on their official Instagram page: “YOU CAN BE MISS UNIVERSE 2018 SPAIN.
Be Miss invites you to register as a candidate for the Miss Universe beauty pageant Spain 2018. Fulfill your dream and represents Spain in Miss Universe.
The origins of Miss Spain date back to 1929, when early contests took place until the advent of civil war in 1936, followed by the dictatorship of Francisco Franco, which did not permit beauty pageants until 1961.
It is currently broadcast to the entire country by Telecinco, from the Marina d'Or resort, in the province of Castellón.
Any woman who wants to participate in Miss Spain must appear before provincial branches of the pageant, and learn about the requirements needed, as well as methods for selection to be carried out in that province. Once selected by a delegation, they will represent their province in the contest. After a month of preliminary competition, events and cultural activities around the country, the new Miss Spain is selected.

The winner of Miss Spain is sent to represent her country in Miss Universe. However, if Miss Spain is underage, a runner-up is sent to Miss Universe. Overall in these international pageants, Spain's success has been moderate with one Miss Universe title in 1974 and 3 Miss International titles in 1977, 1990 and 2008. In 2013, the pageant was separated into several pageants - like Miss World Spain and Miss Universe Spain.
