Representing a country on the Miss Universe stage is about more than wearing a sash. It is an opportunity to give a voice to the place that shaped you, the values you carry and the ambitions that extend beyond the competition. For Susana Lucía Medina, Miss Universe Spain 2026, that journey is deeply connected to her roots in Gran Canaria and the personal experiences that have brought her to this defining moment.
