Spain was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 1972 with the song "Amanece", composed by Augusto Algueró, with lyrics by Ramón Arcusa, and performed by Jaime Morey.

Before Eurovision
Televisión Española (TVE) internally selected "Amanece" performed by Jaime Morey as its entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 1972. The song was composed by Augusto Algueró, and had lyrics by Ramón Arcusa. The composer and the performer were announced on 19 January 1972.[1] The song was presented to the press on 20 February.[2]
At Eurovision
On 25 March 1972, the Eurovision Song Contest was held at the Usher Hall in Edinburgh hosted by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) and broadcast live throughout the continent. Morey performed "Amanece" 4th in the evening, following Ireland and preceding the United Kingdom. Augusto Algueró conducted the event's orchestra performance of the Spanish entry. At the close of voting "Amanece" had received 83 points, placing 10th in a field of 18.[3]
TVE broadcast the contest in Spain on TVE 1 with commentary by Julio Rico.[4]
Voting
Each participating broadcaster appointed two jury members, one below the age of 25 and the other above, with at least 10 years between their ages, who voted by giving between one and five votes to each song, except that representing their own country. All jury members were located in a television studio and showed their votes on screen during the voting sequence.[5] The Spanish jury members were Emma Cohen and Luis María Anson, deputy director of ABC.[4]
