She became Spain’s oldest person after last November’s death of Piedad Loriente from Aragon at the age of 113.
Angelina will celebrate 112 years on March 18.
She admits her longevity might have been helped by taking long walks and being ‘friends with everyone.
The veteran has been described as an ‘angel’, but she disagrees.
“I am no angel, I like to get on with everyone,” Angelina stated.
She revealed that she often feels a deep sense of empathy for those less fortunate than herself.
The 111-year-old noted that she ‘had many friends’ who ‘loved me a lot’, and that she ‘laughed a lot’ and ‘enjoyed my family’.
Angelina has two grandchildren and two great-grandchildren which she described as ‘handsome’ and had a ‘good time’ with them last Christmas
