spain at eurovision
Spain has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 62 times since its debut in 1961, winning twice: in 1968 (La, La, La…) and the following year in 1969 (Vivo Cantando).
As Spain is a member of the ‘Big 5’ they do not have to go through the semi-final round and automatically qualify for the Grand Final. Spain is also a member of “Club Zero” as they have recorded zero points three times. There have been five times in Eurovision’s history that they have finished last, the last time being in 2017.
Spain’s most famous song is probably “Eres Tú” at Eurovision in 1973 (2nd place, 4 points away from winning).
