Has Ana del Valle been confirmed alive since 2020? She is due to turn 110 this month and I have not found any update on her after she was in the media for surviving both Spanish flu as a child and Covid in March 2020

I guess she was also overshadowed by an even older Spanish lady getting Covid around the same time…

Last confirmed alive: 20 October 2022.

 

Hopefully she reached her birthday 

Does anyone know if Maria Martin Rodriguez is still alive, on the website Tenho mais de 100.: espanhóis com mais de 105 anos que morreram em 2023. (segundacentena.blogspot.com) your name is not found

With the death of Pilar Yague, would the new top ten be Luis Torras Martinez? born on 29 December 1912 in Vigo, Galicia, where he still lives

@diego Probably there is no recent information about María Martín, so she may be in limbo. And there are other cases where there is no new information.

For instance, there is no 112 birthday confirmation of Avelina Lorenzo (theorically the 4th OLP in Spain), so she could de deceased too.

And there are no news about Luis Torras since his 111th birthday back in December 2022. But I think that we will know if Torras is alive soon, as he will be 111 on December 29, an he has had media coverage for years...

Luis Torras would be the oldest known man in the world for reasons other than longevity, I was surprised that there is no news about him this year yet. I hope his birthday on December 29th is confirmed.
And that the cases in doubt will also be clarified soon

This is assuming that Purificacion Garcia de la Ceca and Avelina Lorenzo Berian are deceased, which they may or may not be. Aquanaut_Chalk mentioned on the other forum here that he is in contact with Garcia de la Ceca's family and she was confirmed alive in May (so maybe she should be taken out of limbo?)
