The participation of Spain in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest first began at the inaugural Junior Eurovision Song Contest in 2003 which took place in Copenhagen, Denmark. Televisión Española (TVE), a division of Radiotelevisión Española (RTVE) and member of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), were responsible for the selection process of their participation. Spain used a national selection format, broadcasting a show entitled Eurojunior, for their participation at the contests. The first representative to participate for the nation at the 2003 contest was Sergio with the song "Desde el cielo", which finished in second place out of sixteen participating entries, achieving a score of one hundred and thirty-seven points. Spain withdrew from competing in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest in 2007, and have yet to make their return to the contest despite many attempts in recent years.
Spain is one of the sixteen countries to have made their debut at the inaugural Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2003, which took place on 15 November 2003 at the Forum in Copenhagen, Denmark. Child-singer, Sergio, was the first participant to represent Spain with the song "Desde el cielo", which finished in second place out of sixteen participating entries, achieving a score of one hundred and thirty-seven points. Spain is one of the most successful countries in the contest - the country has won the contest once, 2004, represented by María Isabel with "Antes muerta que sencilla", as well as coming second twice, in both 2003 and 2005. The remaining Spanish entrant finished in fourth position in 2006. Spanish broadcaster Televisión Española (TVE) withdrew from the contest in 2007, saying that "the Junior Eurovision promotes stereotypes we do not share".
