Sagunto mayor visits centenarian Vicenta and receives an unexpected family gift
Mayor Darío Moreno paid a centenary visit to local resident Vicenta last week and received a touching surprise from her family: an old photograph of his own mother as a teenager.
The mayor of Sagunto, Darío Moreno, shared a personal moment on social media: a visit to Vicenta, a local resident who has just turned 100 years old. What began as a ceremonial call from the council ended with an unexpected surprise — one of Vicenta's daughters gave the mayor a photograph showing his own mother at the age of 15.
Moreno publicly thanked the family for the gesture and noted the emotion the image brought to his relatives. He also invited followers to look closely at the photo and see if they recognised anyone, suggesting it may have historical significance for other long-time residents of the city.
The visit is part of the council's tradition of personally congratulating residents who reach their hundredth birthday — a small but valued gesture of closeness between local government and the community. According to the mayor's own Facebook post, the encounter left a lasting memory for Vicenta and all those present.
