Before Eurovision

Eurofestival

[edit]

The national final took place at the studios of Televisión Española (TVE) in Barcelona on 7 February 1965, hosted by José Luis Barcelona and Irene Mur. In the four previous months, 54 candidate songs were presented to the audience in the weekly TV show Gran Parada. At the end of each month a semi-final was held with the top two songs going through the final. TVE then added six other songs to the seven qualifiers (one was eliminated). The jury in the final consisted of 16 members, a mixture of experts and TV viewers. Each juror awarded a point to all songs except one; the song with the fewest points was eliminated. This process was repeated until the winning song was left.[1][2]
