Galo Leoz 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. He received the Spanish 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. 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, who lived 112 years and 181 days.

Joan Riudavets

Joan Riudavets Moll was born in Es Migjorn Gran, Menorca, where he lived until his death in 2004. His mother, Catalina Moll Mercadés, died at age 25 in December 1889; his father was a cobbler. Riudavets also worked as a cobbler until he retired in 1954 and was a former village councillor of Es Migjorn Gran. Riudavets married in 1917; his wife, also born in 1889, died at age 90.
When asked, Riudavets attributed his longevity to a life of moderation.
Riudavets died at the age of 114 years, 81 days after having a cold for a few days. He was survived by two younger half- brothers: Pere, who died in 2006 at the age of 105, and Josep, who died in 2009 at the age of 102. At the time of his death, Riudavets was believed to be the oldest Spanish person ever. However, subsequent research by the International Database on Longevity has revealed that two women had been older than Riudavets at the time of their deaths. He became the oldest recognized living person in Europe following Maria Teresa Fumarola Ligorio's death on 14 May 2003, and oldest recognized living man in the world following Yukichi Chuganji's death on 28 September 2003. After Riudavets' death, Fred Harold Hale became the world's oldest man.
