Consolación Paz Precedo, a resident of Cambre, Galicia, Spain, passed away on 2 June, at the age of 111 years, 156 days. She was the oldest living person in Galicia.
Consolación Paz Precedo was born in Cambre on 28 December 1913. She attended a school known as Doña Casilda, learned to sew, and spent many years working in the fields. She later opened a bar in A Rocha, naming it A Casa de Teresa in honor of one of her daughters.
As of her 105th birthday, she was remarkably independent, with sharp mental clarity and the ability to walk unassisted. She enjoyed a wide variety of foods, especially sweets like chocolate and cakes, and occasionally savored a glass of wine or a gentle sip of gin and tonic. Her home included a vegetable garden, which she continued to tend herself. At 106, she had four grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren. According to her, one of the secrets to her longevity was that she had worked all her life.
Following the passing of Luis Torras Martínez, she became the oldest known living person in Galicia. Following her passing, it’s believed the title was passed to María Dolores González Díaz.
