The national finalists for Miss Grand Spain 2023 were determined by provincial licensees through their regional pageants,[15][16] where in some cases the qualifiers for the national stage are more than one person per event.[17][18] Thirty-four province and autonomous community representatives competed for the title, 27 of which directly obtained the regional title at the subnational pageant, while six candidates were appointed to the position after finishing as the runners-up at the regional contest, including the representatives of Atlántico, Barcelona, Las Palmas, Costa Canaria, Navarre, and Islas Afortunadas.

Of the appointed contestants, two were assigned as the replacements for the original ones, including:

  • Dayanara Rodriguez of Las Palmas was appointed as the replacement for the original winner, Ana Trujillo, who resigned from the title.[19] Dayanara Rodriguez was the first runner-up of the Miss Grand Las Palmas 2022 pageant.
  • Marta Rovira Mañé of Barcelona, who finished as the first runner-up at the provincial pageant, was appointed as the replacement for Eva Faife who withdrew for undisclosed reasons.[20]

In the Province of Sevilla, at least two municipality pageants, such as Miss Grand Alcalá de Guadaíra and Miss Grand Capital, were held to determine the city's representative for the provincial pageant.[21][22]
