He was born in Orihuela in 1910 and, despite being imprisoned by the national side (Spanish Civil War) and died due to tuberculosis in 1942, with only 31 years, left a great legacy of poems and plays. In Pardo Gimeno street, where the monument now stands, was the infirmary of the jail where he died, and today, since 1998, the monument to this great poet stands out in the Benalúa neighborhood. Furthermore, near the monument, there is a street dedicated to his memory.
