- ↑ The website of Miss España only names names up to 1935. After that, there were no contests in the country - probably because of the civil war : winners 1929–1935 at missespana.com ( Memento from December 22, 2011 in the Internet Archive ). Nevertheless, candidates for Spain took part in the Miss Europe election until 1938. Where and how they qualified is not documented.
