​​Welcome to Tróia
"tranquil Pine Forests"

Welcome to Troia, where the sun-kissed shores of Portugal meet the ancient allure of history. This hidden gem along the stunning Alentejo coastline is a haven for travelers seeking a perfect blend of relaxation and discovery. Step onto the golden sands of Troia's pristine beaches and let the crystal-clear waters of the Atlantic Ocean beckon you. Whether you're basking in the sun's warm embrace or taking a refreshing dip, the beach is your canvas for unforgettable moments. But Troia isn't just about its captivating coastline; it's a treasure trove of history. Explore the Roman ruins that whisper tales of emperors and gladiators, where ancient theaters and temples stand as a testament to a bygone era. As you wander through these ancient remnants, you'll feel like you've stepped back in time. Wildlife enthusiasts, rejoice! Troia is a sanctuary for nature lovers. Observe the resident dolphins gracefully dancing in the sea, or embark on a bird-watching adventure in the surrounding estuary. The biodiversity here is a sight to behold. For the avid golfer, Troia offers lush, world-class courses with stunning views of the ocean. Tee off against the backdrop of rolling dunes and dramatic cliffs, and let the challenges of the game blend seamlessly with the beauty of the landscape. As the sun sets, Troia's charm comes alive. Savor the catch of the day at waterfront seafood restaurants, where fresh flavors of the sea tantalize your taste buds. Then, head to the marina, where the evening lights twinkle and the sounds of laughter fill the air, creating a picture-perfect atmosphere for relaxation and romance. Looking for adventure? Explore the Troia Peninsula by bike or hiking trails, immersing yourself in the breathtaking natural scenery. Venture to the nearby Comporta village, where charming streets and artisanal shops await your discovery. Troia isn't just a destination; it's an invitation to rejuvenate your soul. Whether you seek tranquility, adventure, or simply a break from the ordinary, Troia welcomes you with open arms. Surrender to the allure of this coastal haven, where the past and present converge in perfect harmony. Troia is calling, and your extraordinary journey begins here.

The Result

Countries receiving most 12 points / Germany, 6
Countries giving 12 points to the winner / South Korea, Albania, Mexico, Denmark, Sweden and Poland
Countries receiving points from most juries / Germany, 27
Highest placing country not scoring a top mark / Portugal in 9th with 10 points from South Africa as highest mark
Lowest placing country scoring a top mark / Chile in 24th, getting 12 points from Puerto Rico

Germany quickly took the lead and then never looked back, cruising to their 3rd victory. Denmark finished as runner-up and Andorra took home the bronze medal with San Marino and Albania rounding out the top 5.

Germany is one of the founding members of Global Music and has to date competed 93 times, reaching 67 finals with 33 top 10 finishes. They didn't have the smoothest start to their GM career, as they only inched into the top 10 twice in their first 7 attempts. Things quickly turned around though, and Germany won GM/10 with Sarah Connor and took the silver only 9 editions later. From GM/24 on through GM/39 they won another 5 medals and reached the top 10 on a further 7 occasions! However, Germany had to wait until GM/54 for their second gold, when Mehrzah Marashi scored most points and now, another 46 editions later, they finish on top for the third time. Germany's current HoD, Maaian, took over the delegation as recently as in GM/90. Under his reign it has been either hit or miss, reaching the top 10 on his 2nd participation and finishing runner-up in his 4th, but also failing to reach the final 6 times. None of this matters now though, as the taste of gold is always sweet. Well done Germany, Oonagh and Maaian!
