The Eurovision Song Contest 1968 was the thirteenth Eurovision Song Contest. Originally Spain was entering Joan Manuel Serrat to sing "La, la, la", but he wanted to sing it in Catalan, to which language politics of Francoist Spain would not agree. So he had to be swiftly replaced by Massiel who would sing in Spanish.

This was the very first contest that was broadcast in colour. The countries that broadcast it in colour were: France, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

Spain's victory was their first.
