Welcome to Cape town
"Mother City"
Welcome to Cape Town, a city of breathtaking beauty and boundless adventure, where nature, culture, and history converge to create an unforgettable tapestry of experiences. Begin your journey at the iconic Table Mountain, an emblem of the city's majesty. Ascend to its summit by cable car, and be rewarded with panoramic views that stretch to the horizon, where the Atlantic Ocean meets the rugged coastline. Cape Town's coastal allure beckons from the moment you arrive. Bask on pristine beaches like Camps Bay and Clifton, where golden sands meet crystal-clear waters, or explore the dramatic cliffs and hidden coves of the Cape Peninsula. Delve into the city's rich history at the Robben Island Museum, where you'll stand in the footsteps of Nelson Mandela, who spent 18 years in captivity on this storied island. Wander through the historic streets of Bo-Kaap, where colorful houses and cobblestone lanes narrate tales of the city's multicultural heritage. Cape Town's culinary scene is a fusion of flavors. Savor seafood delights at the bustling V&A Waterfront, where restaurants offer a taste of South Africa's diverse cuisine. Explore local markets like the Old Biscuit Mill, where artisanal foods and crafts take center stage. For wine enthusiasts, Cape Town's winelands are a paradise. Embark on a journey through Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, and Paarl, where world-class wineries offer tastings amid vineyard-draped landscapes. Nature lovers will find solace in Cape Town's surrounding wilderness. Hike the iconic trails of Table Mountain National Park, including the challenging but rewarding ascent of Lion's Head. Or embark on a journey along the Garden Route, where coastal vistas and lush forests await. As the sun sets, Cape Town's nightlife beckons. Explore the vibrant Long Street, where bars, clubs, and live music venues promise lively evenings filled with laughter and dance. Don't forget to enjoy a South African braai, a barbecue feast, and mingle with locals at one of the city's many social hotspots. Cape Town invites you to embrace its blend of natural wonder, cultural diversity, and rich history. Whether you're an outdoor enthusiast, a foodie, or an art aficionado, Cape Town offers an authentic South African experience that will captivate your heart and soul.

The Result
Countries receiving most 12 points / Cuba, 6
Countries giving 12 points to the winner / San Marino, Albania, Australia, Israel, Poland and Norway
Countries receiving points from most juries / United Kingdom, 23
Highest placing country not scoring a top mark / United Kingdom in 5th with 10 points from Albania, Belarus, Italy, Malta and Norway as highest marks
Lowest placing country scoring a top mark / South Korea in 31st, getting 12 points from Slovakia
At the beginning of the voting it was a very close race between several countries, with the leading changing with each of the first seven juries. Then Mexico took a comfortable lead with several high marks and looked like a clear winner. However, Kosovo and Cuba managed to close the gap and after a close three-way race towards the end, Cuba could be crowned as the winner with a sizeable margin. Mexico took home the silver, and Kosovo won their first medal, when they claimed the bronze. The top 5 was rounded out by Italy and United Kingdom.
Cuba made their debut as late as in GM53 and got off to a strong start, when Gloria Estefan won the bronze medal. After a disappointing second attempt, the island quit the contest for the next 20 editions, before they returned to mixed results. Gloria Estefan managed to reach the top 10 once again, but Cuba also failed to make the final twice. In only their 8th participation Cuba did, however, manage to finish on top to bring the contest to the Caribbean for the first time. Fonso has been HoD for Cuba since their return to the contest, and prior to this he represented Dominican Republic with very little success. In 6 participations, he only reached the final once, but that is all forgotten now, as after 12 editions he can now call himself Global Music Champion! Well done Cuba, Jennifer Lopez, Pitbull and Fonso!
