Jump to navigation Jump to search

Spanish supercentenarians are citizens, residents or emigrants from Spain who have attained or surpassed 110 years of age. As of January 2015, the Gerontology Research Group (GRG) had validated the longevity claims of 45 Spanish supercentenarians, including 42 residents and 3 emigrants.[1] More supercentenarians were identified by other studies[2] and by news reports. The oldest Spanish person ever was Ana María Vela Rubio who died on 15 December 2017, aged 116 years and 47 days.[3] There are currently at least 3 Spaniards known to be alive over age 110, although the GRG has not yet verified their documentation.

Biographies[edit]

Galo Leoz[edit]

Galo Leoz (22 April 1879 – 23 January 1990) was a Spanish professor of ophtalmology at the Complutense University of Madrid. He performed pioneering studies on the degeneration and regeneration of optical nerves, and on cornea transplants.[33] He received the Spanish gold medal for work merit [es] and was president of the Spanish Ophtalmological Society. He was considered the world's oldest doctor, as he kept working until the age of 103.[33] Leoz was Spain's oldest known living person when he died aged 110 years 276 days. His record was surpassed in 1992 by Josep Armengol Jover (23 July 1881 – 20 January 1994), who lived 112 years and 181 days.

Ana María Vela Rubio[edit]

Ana María Vela Rubio (29 October 1901 – 15 December 2017) was born in Puente Genil, Andalucia. She worked as a dressmaker in her youth. She never married her partner as her parents objected to him, but the two had several children. Her daughter, also named Ana, lived with her.[34] Rubio became the oldest verified Spaniard ever on 6 June 2016, when she surpassed the record of María Antonia Castro who had died in 1996, aged 114 years, 220 days.[34] She went on to live a total of 116 years and 47 days. At the time of her death she was the third-oldest living person in the world, behind Nabi Tajima and Chiyo Miyako.[3] She became the oldest living European upon the death of Emma Morano on 15 April 2017,[35] and she remains the third-oldest European ever recorded.[3]

Francisco Núñez Olivera[edit]

Francisco Núñez Olivera (13 December 1904 – 29 January 2018) was born and lived his whole life in the village of Bienvenida in the Badajoz province of Extremadura.[36][37] He joined the army at the age of 19 to fight in the Rif War.[38] He was also a veteran of the Spanish Civil War. He was nicknamed "Marchena" after his resemblance to native flamenco singer-songwriter/actor Pepe Marchena.[37] His wife died in 1988, and he survived his two sons.[38] In his later years as a pensioner, he lived with his elder daughter María Antonia.[37][38] Olivera had his kidney removed when he was 90 and a cataract operation aged 98; he was otherwise in good health.[38] He became the oldest living man after the death of Yisrael Kristal on August 11, 2017.[36] Olivera went on to live a total of 113 years and 47 days.[36]
