María Luisa Melcón Alonso, a resident of San Sebastián de los Reyes, Community of Madrid, Spain, celebrated her 110th birthday on 18 December. Her birthday was confirmed on Facebook by Lucía S. Fernández Alonso, the Mayor of San Sebastián de los Reyes.
María Luisa Melcón Alonso was born in Madrid, on 18 December 1914. From a young age, she knew she wanted to pursue an education and build a professional career. She trained as a teacher and worked for several years in Tarancón (Cuenca), where she met her husband, Serafín, who was also a teacher. The couple eventually moved to Madrid, where they had two children (both of whom she outlived). She continued her teaching career at a school in the Spanish capital until her retirement.

Occasionally, she enjoyed a glass of liquor but never smoked. According to her granddaughter Cristina, she had a hearty appetite and ate everything without restrictions. Until the COVID-19 pandemic began in 2020, she led an active and independent life. She went shopping, managed her household chores, and stayed as engaged as possible in daily activities.
