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 Mateo's death at age 112 years 228 days. Mateo was succeeded in title by then 111-year-old Alice Stevenson. Mateo was the first verified Spanish supercentenarian, and also the first verified person documented to die at age 112. Mateo 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. Mateo 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.
