Attachment : image.png

Angelina Torres Vallbona, the oldest living person in Spain, passed away in Barcelona on 11 November, at the age of 112 years, 238 days.

Torres Vallbona was born in Bellvís, Lleida, Catalonia, on 18 March 1913, and was one of eight siblings. After her father’s accidental death when she was three, her family moved to Barcelona, where her mother began working. Torres attended a convent school and later apprenticed at a shoe store as a tie maker, earning six pesetas for every 12 ties. Encouraged by her mother to learn sewing, she also trained at a dressmaker’s shop, gaining valuable skills despite low pay.

She later worked at Bragulat. During the Spanish Civil War, she met her future husband, Josep, who served for six years. They married in 1942 and had a daughter, Mercè. Financial struggles led them to live with her in-laws. Widowed at 61, Torres continued living independently in a small Barcelona apartment until a femur injury prompted her daughter to move in with her.

On 28 January 2025, following the passing of 113-year-old Juliana Teodora Artola Ondara, Torres Vallbona became the oldest living person in Spain.

• She is the 17th oldest person in Spanish history, her successor is the 25th.
• She remained the oldest person in Spain for 353 days, the longest since Maria Branyas Morera, who held the title from December 22, 2019 to August 19, 2024 (4 years, 241 days).
• She died at 112 years, 238 days old, the youngest person to hold the title since Francisca Garcia-Torres, who died on February 25, 2014 at 112 years, 165 days.
• She is the first person from San Sebastian to be considered the oldest person in Spain.She was the seventh person from Catalonia to be recognised as the oldest person in Spain, the first since Maria Branyas Morera.
• She is the 151st oldest European in history.
• She was the 12th oldest living European.
• She is the 2nd oldest person born in 1913 to die to date.

@diego Good review, but Angelina was not from San Sebastián. The one from San Sebastián was her predecessor Juliana Artola.

@diego Good review, but Angelina was not from San Sebastián. The one from San Sebastián was her predecessor Juliana Artola.

Thank you very much for pointing that out. I was actually thinking of Juliana when I wrote San Sebastian and ended up getting confused.
I have corrected the post and apologise for the mistake.
