Joan Riudavets

Joan Riudavets (15 December 1889 – 5 March 2004) was a Spanish supercentenarian and the oldest verified person ever in the history of Spain. He was born in Minorca. He became the oldest recognized living person in Europe following the death of Italian Maria Teresa Fumarola Ligorio in May 2003, and the oldest recognized living man in the world following the death of Japanese supercentenarian Yukichi Chuganji in September 2003. At age 113, he was the oldest man ever to accede to that position. Riudavets is one of only four men in history who have undisputably lived to age 114 or more.
