Due to his short stature (1.50 m), the Spaniard, born in Puente Castro on February 11, 1909, was not invited to enlist and fight in 1936, when the Spanish Civil War was raging.
He made a fortune by starting a shoe business.
He had seven children, 14 grandchildren and 22 great-grandchildren.
The longevity record is held by Frenchwoman Jean Kalman, who lived 122 years and 164 days until her death in 1997, according to the Guinness World Records website.
