Spain's Eurovision journey began
rather badly as two of their first four entries claimed "nul
points" but much better was around the corner. Their Eurovision heyday was definitely the late 60s and
early 70s, the absolute zenith being back-to-back triumphs in 1968 and 1969 and top four
finishes in three of the next four years.
Success since then has been harder to come
by, despite another surge in their results at the turn of the 90s. As that
decade wore on, rather like neighbours France, they did suffer some very poor
times, but due to a high profile "Pop Idol" type casting show fortunes improved
in the new millennium.
However the last few years have seen
less enthusiasm from broadcaster TVE and Spain has joined the
other big four countries in populating the lowest rungs of the
scoreboard.
