Sarah Loinaz is from San Sebastian, a historic city recognized worldwide for its beauty, history, and gastronomy. Her mom was from Agadir, Morocco. Her dad was from San-Sebastián, Spain.

I am very proud of where I come from and of my origins.”

Loinaz can speak four different languages. The first is Euskera, which is the dialect of the Basque Country in Spain. Arabic, English, and Spanish are the other three. She told HBVN, “The advantage of being able to use four different languages is the possibility to communicate with people from different parts of the world.” Currently, she is finishing her studies in business administration and management.

She has walked for Revlon in Paris, for Agatha Ruiz de la Prada, Custo Barcelona, Juanjo Oliva, Isabel Zapardiez … among others.

Regarding Miss Universe Spain 2021, it was not the first time Sarah Loinaz participated in this beauty pageant. She smiled, “I participated for the first time in Miss Universe Spain in 2017. I was the first runner-up. Four years later, I can finally say with gratitude: I have won the title of Miss Universe Spain. I have worked so hard for it. With the decision to participate for the second time, I wanted to prove that it is important to dream. And we have to work hard to achieve what we yearn for.”

Looking forward, the 23-years-old beauty queen is to represent Spain in the Miss Universe 2021 pageant. The contest will take place in Eilat, Israel, on December 12, 2021. This year’s Miss Universe will focus on climate change among other social and global issues faced by participants and their countries. To prepare for the global contest, Sarah Loinaz said, “A percentage of my Miss Universe wardrobe will be sustainable clothing. Some of the designs will be made with biodegradable materials.”

The only time Spain won the Miss Universe competition was in 1974. What would Sarah Loinaz do if she wins this year? She said, “I want to represent the diversity of the new generation. I would focus on working a year with the organization. And sharing a bit of the magic of my country with the rest of the world. At the end of the term, I hope to leave a positive legacy in working for human rights in the world.”
