People

Josefa Salas

Josefa Salas Mateo (14 July 1860 – 27 February 1973) was a Spanish supercentenarian and the verified oldest recognized living person for 3 years 47 days, between the death of 111-year-old Ada Roe on 11 January 1970 and Salas's death at age 112 years 228 days. Salas succeeded in title by then 111-year-old Alice Stevenson. Salas was the first verified Spanish supercentenarian, and also the first verified person documented to die at age 112. Salas was the last person to become the oldest living person before becoming a supercentenarian, as she became the world's oldest person at age 109 years 181 days. She was also the youngest to have made the list since its start in 1955, being 18 days younger than John Mosely Turner was at the beginning of his title and 21 days younger than Hannah Smith was. Salas was also the last recognized surviving person documented as born in 1860 and is the fourth oldest Spanish person ever. (She was the oldest Spanish person ever at the time of her death, but her record was broken by Carmen Figueiró on 13 June 1996).

Telesfora de la Torre

Telesfora de la Torre Mendizábal (5 January 1876 – 8 October 1986) was a Spanish supercentenarian, and the second person from Spain to became a supercentenarian, after Josefa Salas (14 July 1860 – 27 February 1973). Torre-Mendizibal was the oldest living Spanish person at the time of her death aged 110 years 276 days.

Aurelio Diaz

Aurelio Diaz Campillo (16 October 1878 – 13 June 1989) was a Spanish supercentenarian and Spain's oldest recognized living person when he died at age 110 years 240 days. He was also the first male Spanish supercentenarian, and therefore the oldest ever male Spanish person at one point; as well as the third person from Spain to become a supercentenarian, after Josefa Salas (14 July 1860 – 27 February 1973) and Telesfora de la Torre (5 January 1876 – 8 October 1986). Aurelio Díaz was the last Spanish veteran of the Spanish-American war of Cuba.

Galo Leoz

Galo Leoz Ortín (22 April 1879 – 23 January 1990) was a Spanish supercentenarian and Spain's oldest recognized living person when he died aged 110 years 276 days. He became Spain's oldest recognized male ever when he surpassed Aurelio Diaz. Leoz's record was surpassed in 1993 by Josep Armengol (23 July 1881 – 20 January 1994), who lived to the age of 112 years 181 days. Galo Leoz was a noted ophthalmologist.

Josep Armengol Jover

Josep Armengol Jover (23 July 1881 – 20 January 1994) was a Spanish supercentenarian who became the oldest recognized living Spanish male in January 1990, the oldest recognized living person in Spain in March 1990, and the oldest living man in June 1993, following the death of Frederick L. Frazier. Armengol died on 20 January 1994, at the age of 112 years 181 days. At the time, he was the oldest Spanish male ever; this record was broken in 2002 by Joan Riudavets.

Pablo Roy

Pablo Roy Morales (15 January 1884 – 26 January 1994) was, for the last six days of his life, the second-oldest living person in Spain, behind Carmen Figueiró, and the oldest living male in Spain, following the death of 112-year-old Josep Armengol. Roy died at age 110 years, 11 days.

Carmen Figueiró

María del Carmen Figueiró Freiría née de Rodriguez (28 October 1883 – 25 May 1997) was a Galician supercentenarian and the oldest recognized living Spanish person at the time of her death aged 113 years 209 days. She became the oldest undisputed person in the history of Spain in 1996, after surpassing the age of Josefa Salas. Carmen's record was broken in 2003 by Joan Riudavets.
