Spanish broadcaster RTVE has selected the act for Junior Eurovision 2026.
The 10-year-old Lucas Paulano was selected internally to represent the country at Junior Eurovision 2026. In 2025, he won the 10th edition of “The Voice Kids – Spain”.
Lucas will perform the song “Cuore Bello (Te quiero, Te quiero)”, which translates to “Beautiful Heart, I Love You, I Love You”.
Blas Cantó, Dangelo, Carlos Almazán, and Lucas Paulano created the song.
Previously, Blas Cantó represented Spain in Eurovision 2021 with “Voy A Quedarme”
The song will be released in the coming weeks. RTVE released the following statement regarding the idea behind the song:
The song stems from a simple yet powerful idea: in Latin, to remember means ” to pass through the heart again .” Thus, the song connects love with memory and celebrates the memories of our loved ones as a source of light, strength, and inspiration; those moments and people that remain within us and drive us to grow and become who we want to be
Gonzali Pinillos represented Spain at Junior Eurovision 2025 with the song “Érase Una Vez“.
