The winners of the festival were the group Nebulossa, with the song “Zorra”, winning both the jury vote and the televote. Spain, as part of the BIG 5, takes part directly in the Grand Final of Eurovision 2024 on May 11.

Despite the rumors about changing the song, due to its lyrics, the EBU confirmed in the Spanish media that “Zorra” can normally participate in the Contest. They stated:

“The EBU understands that there are many interpretations of the title of the song presented by RTVE to represent Spain in this year’s Eurovision Song Contest. Taking into account its intended use in the context of the lyrics and message of the song, as explained to us by RTVE, we have concluded that the song is eligible to participate in this year’s contest. The staging of the song in May, as is the case with all participating acts, will be agreed with the producers at a later date. All participating broadcasters will be responsible for ensuring that all necessary measures are taken within their respective delegations and teams to safeguard the interests and integrity of the Eurovision Song Contest and for ensuring that under no circumstances will it be brought into disrepute in any way.”
