This is the first time a contestant from Nicaragua has won the contest, with Thailand\u2019s Anntonia Porsild and Australia\u2019s Moraya Wilson rounding out the top three.<\/p>\n

Palacios, who said she considers humility and gratitude for little things as her main qualities, won among 84 contestants who participated during a week of competitions that included posing in swimsuits, evening gowns and traditional dresses.<\/p>\n

In her final answer to the jury, Palacios emphasized the importance of equal pay regardless of gender so that women can \u201cwork in any area.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no limit for women,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Each participant paraded on a stage set up in the newly renovated Adolfo Pineda National Gymnasium, in the capital San Salvador.<\/p>\n

The organizers of the gala, which was attended by El Salvador\u2019s President Nayib Bukele, also announced that the next edition will be held in Mexico.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
