Maja Internacional Titleholders

The Maja Internacional Pageant began in Zaragoza, Spain in 1966, attracting predominantly-Spanish-speaking nations from across the globe. At its height, the pageant attracted close to 40 entrants from nations all around the globe, primarily in the Americas and the Caribbean. Though no longer contended for, the title of Maja Internacional was well-respected. Nations that have played host to the pageant include Mexico (1977, 1986, 1987), Puerto Rico (1978, 1982, 1988, 1991, 1995), the Dominican Republic (1979, 1989), Trinidad & Tobago (1985), and Haiti (1983).
