It took place at the Palau Municipal d'Esports l'Illa de Benidorm in Benidorm, Valencian Community. [8] Thirteen artists and songs competed over three shows: two semi-finals on 26 and 27 January 2022 and the final on 29 January 2022. [9] Each semi-final featured six or seven songs and four qualified for the final. The results of each show were determined through a combination of public voting, a demoscopic jury and an expert jury. [10] The fourteen competing acts were announced on 10 December 2021, while the competing songs were premiered on 21 December 2021. [11] [12]

At Eurovision

The 66th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest took place in Turin, Italy and consisted of two semi-finals on 10 and 12 May, and the grand final on 14 May 2022. According to Eurovision rules, all nations with the exceptions of the host country and the "Big Five" (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom) were required to qualify from one of two semi-finals in order to compete for the final; the top ten countries from each semi-final progressed to the final. [17] As a member of the "Big Five", Spain automatically qualified to compete in the final on 14 May 2022. In addition to its participation in the final, Spain was also required to broadcast and vote in one of the two semi-finals. This was decided via a draw held during the semi-final allocation draw on 25 January 2022, when it was announced that Spain would vote in the second semi-final. [18] The song finished in 3rd place with 459 points and gave Spain its best ever result in number of points, receiving 12 points from 8 different juries and giving Spain its best result since 1995.
