Actually there are news about 2 of them only (Juan Mariné and Miquel Morera), the others easily have could died off radar...

 

Miquel Morera dead at 104, only Juan Mariné still alive...

Slight barrel scraping now, but you've got a few names there that weren't on my 2021 list plucked from Wikipedia.

 

The other names still marked alive on my list:

Maria "Rosariet" Rosario Llin Belda - born 1922 and was alive on her 100th. I'd say she's alive unless I've missed something.

Julián Pérez, Vincens Piñón, Andrés Pons, Salvador Toledo, José López López - Can't find almost anything! These people would also all be over 105 now, I believe all or almost all are dead.

José Fernández Olmo - was alive on his 100th in 2019.

Jesús Revesado - As above, but was wheelchairbound and quite frail.

Juan/Joan Pons - b 1922, appeared in the Guardian, daily fail etc. at 94 in 2016. Is he still alive?

José Pérez Casalderrey - b 1919, the weirdest case to me. Still alive in 2019, some mentions after that. There used to be a page that sourcelessly claimed he died in 2022
