The Spanish participation in the song contest was almost uninterrupted, in fact, RTVE only withdrew from the contest in the edition of 1986, which was held in Santiago, as a protest against the Augusto Pinochet dictatorship. History Although RTVE selected their representants internally and didn't follow the tradition of national finals started by countries such as Mexico, Chile or Guatemala, Spain almost always selected famous names, most of whom would achieve strong results. Spain won the event on 6 occasions, which makes it the second most successful participant after Mexico. The first Spanish victory came in 1976 with the singer-songwriter María Ostiz and her song "Canta cigarra" (Cicada, start singing!). This protest song, which transmitted a deep feeling of sadness, ...
