BIOGRAPHY

María Concha Pérez Cidad was born in Grijalba, Castile and León, Spain, on 9 December 1901. She had five siblings (three sisters and two brothers). She spent most of her life between Burgos and Madrid, living in the capital for over 60 years.

She studied Philosophy and Literature in Madrid and held a high-ranking position at the Ministry of the Interior, retiring at the age of 70. She travelled to almost every corner of the world, although one of her dreams—to visit Mexico—remained unfulfilled. A trip was organized, but then canceled, and she later felt that she was too old to make the journey.

María Concha Pérez Cidad passed away in Madrid, on 30 September 2014, at the age of 112 years, 295 days.
