Biography

Born in Santo Domingo, son to the Dominican trinitario Felipe Alfau y Bustamante and Rosa Josefa Mendoza Pineda. Leader of the first brigade of Jägers of Melilla, he was promoted to division general in 1910.

After the 1912 Treaty of Fes and the entry in Tétouan of the Spanish forces commanded by Alfau on 19 February 1913, he became the first High Commissioner of the newly created Spanish protectorate in Morocco on 5 April 1913. He left the post on 15 August 1913, when he was replaced by José Marina Vega.

Later, he was appointed as Captain General of Catalonia, in 1915. Alfau—who, according Francisco J. Romero Salvadó did not take the Juntas de Defensa seriously— was fired on 27 May 1916 in the context of the 1917 military crisis, and was replaced again by the General Marina.

He died in Casablanca in 1937.
