This is a list of verified Spanish supercentenarians (people from Spain who have attained the age of at least 110 years). There have been 52 verified supercentenarians from Spain.[1] The oldest person ever from Spain was an unidentified woman with the initials M.A.C.C., who died in 1996 aged 114 years 220 days. The oldest identified person was Joan Riudavets, who died in 2004 aged 114 years 81 days. As of 12 July 2024, there are 4 verified living supercentenarians, 1 pending,[2] and 3 unverified in Spain, the oldest of whom is Francisca García Torres, aged 122 years, 303 days.

Living Spanish supercentenarians

Below is a list of the oldest living people from Spain. Those listed as verified have been validated by an international body that specifically deals in longevity research, such as the Gerontology Research Group. Those listed as pending have provided at least one document supporting the claimed age but not the three necessary for validation. Those that are unverified have provided no documents to support the age claimed.

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).

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.

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.
