MISS GRAND
Spain
Alba María Ruiz
INTRODUCTION
My name is Alba María Ruiz García, I am 22 years old, and I am honored to be Miss Grand Spain 2026 and a runway model. I have a degree in Primary Education, as well as courses in Artificial Intelligence and Dietetics, driven by my desire to keep learning and growing.
I also worked alongside my mother when she started her own hairdressing business, an experience that taught me the value of hard work, responsibility, and entrepreneurship. Today, I have several projects in mind related to what I have studied, with the ambition of turning my ideas into something of my own. I consider myself a determined and ambitious woman who enjoys taking on new challenges and creating opportunities for her future.
The 4Bs
For me, the four Bs represent a balance between who I am and who I want to become. Body represents discipline and taking care of my health. Beauty represents confidence, self-expression, and understanding that true beauty is not only about physical appearance, but also about inner beauty, our values, kindness, and the way we treat others. Brain represents education, curiosity, and the desire to keep learning. And Business represents ambition, independence, and the ability to create opportunities.
Together, these four areas reflect my personality, my values, and my desire to keep growing both personally and professionally.
PASSION TO BEAUTY PAGEANT
My Passion for Beauty Pageants
My passion for beauty pageants comes from the opportunity to grow, inspire others, and use my voice for something meaningful. For me, being a beauty queen is not only about beauty, but also about confidence, discipline, communication, and having a positive impact on society.
Being here and representing my country is a dream. It has taught me that we can learn from people and cultures that are different from us.
During my journey, I have learned that our differences do not have to separate us. They can help us understand the world and see what we have in common. My dream is to use my voice and this platform to share a message bigger than a crown: a message of respect, unity, and love.
Because when we talk about war and violence, we are talking about people. Mothers who lose their children. Families who lose their homes. People who lose their dreams in one day. We should never think that this suffering is normal. Peace starts when we stop seeing others as enemies and start seeing them as people. We may be different, but we all want the same things: to live, to love, to feel safe, and to have a better future.
That is why today, I use my voice to say: Choose humanity. Choose kindness. Choose dialogue. Because true greatness is not having power over others. It is using our voice to build a better world where no one has to live in fear.
