The seventh season of the television program Got Talent España aired on Telecinco from 10 September 2021 to 17 December 2021. The talent competition was once again hosted by Santi Millán and produced by Fremantle. The season featured a judging panel consisting of only three judges—Dani Martínez, Edurne, and Risto Mejide—all returning from the previous season. This came after Paz Padilla, who had only served as a judge during the live shows of Season 6, was announced shortly after the previous season's finale as not returning to the show.
Like the auditions of Season 6, only two "yes" votes were required to send an act through to the next round, while three buzzers would stop a performance. This remains the only season of the show to feature just three judges throughout its entire run. It also recorded lower viewing figures than its predecessors, only leading its timeslot during its premiere and finale. The winner of the seventh season was Risto Mejide's Golden Buzzer act Duo Turkeev, while the runner-up was competitive chess player Rey Enigma. The season achieved an average viewing figure of 1,735,000.
Format Each judge had the power to press a red buzzer in front of them if they disliked a performance, with three buzzers stopping the act immediately. The Golden Buzzer, situated in the middle of the judges' desk in front of Edurne, allowed each judge, as well as Santi Millán, to send one act directly to the semi-finals. During the semi-finals, the acts performed live for the studio audience, with the judges providing critiques after each performance.
Risto Mejide buzzed the most acts during the live shows, and there was a noticeable increase in buzzer usage throughout the season compared to the previous four seasons, which had only seen between one and three acts buzzed in total. A collective Golden Buzzer was also available during the semi-finals, allowing the judges to unanimously send one standout act directly to the Grand Final. The winner was ultimately decided by the public vote in the Grand Final, earning the title of Spain's most talented act, a cash prize of €25,000, and national recognition.
Golden Buzzer The Golden Buzzer was used 14 times during the season: Duo Turkeev – Aerial Dance Duo & Eventual Winner (Risto Mejide), Rosa Martínez – Opera Singer (Risto Mejide & Edurne), Jorge Pineda – Singer & Guitarist (Risto Mejide & Dani Martínez in the auditions; Risto Mejide, Edurne & Dani Martínez in the live shows), Laura Diepstratan – Singer & Pianist (Edurne in the auditions; Risto Mejide, Edurne & Dani Martínez in the live shows), Hayford Okine (Edurne & Dani Martínez), Wesley Williams – Unicycle Stunt Performer (Dani Martínez), Maxence Vire – Magician (Risto Mejide, Edurne & Dani Martínez), Barber's Science – Barbershop Quartet (Risto Mejide, Edurne, Dani Martínez & Santi Millán), Silvina Magari – Novelty Singer (Santi Millán), Brodwei – Musical Theatre Group (Risto Mejide & Santi Millán), Centro de Danza Teresa Tessier – Dance Group (Live Shows – Risto Mejide, Edurne & Dani Martínez), Javi Rufo – Magician (Live Shows – Risto Mejide, Edurne & Dani Martínez).
