Janice:
It is possible that it could have been changed over time. Your grandfathers name VILA is of catalan origen and comes from the latin word "villa". I would take a guess that SALUD might have been SALUDA or SALUDES, which is a catalan surname. If this guess is right it would have been changed because of political issues against the Catalanes. This is similar to my surname which was spelled Maiol or Mallol and then changed to Mayol. Since your grandfather was of Catalan origen I would take a guess that the other surname would be of catalan origen, which would mean it was spelled differently then now.
James Mayol...
