Alfonso Ardura Altuna (1876 – 5 April 1934) was a Spanish soldier, politician, and sports leader who served as the president of both RCD Espanyol in 1913 and 1914,[1] and the Catalan Fencing Federation between 1929 and 1931.[2][3]
Hardoy was born in 1876 in Puerto Rico.[2] He served as a soldier in Puerto Rico, but following the defeat in the Spanish–American War in 1898, he was expatriated to the Iberian Peninsula, where he settled in Barcelona and married the daughter of Ramon Fernández Valdés, an entrepreneur in the electrical sector. In 1918 he was a member of the Consultative Board of the Circle of the Hispano-American Mercantile Union and of the Association of Neighbors of Carrer de Balmes for the promotion of the construction of the railway in 1924.[citation needed]
In the municipal elections of 1909, Ardura was elected municipal councilor of the City Council of Barcelona for District 8 in the ranks of the Radical Republican Party.[2][3] Lawyer and judge by profession, he was a judge in the Courts of Barcelona, and in June 1931, he was the substitute judge of Josep Balaguer Ribas of the Sarrià-Sant Gervasi district.[4]
