Biography
An electrician by profession, he was affiliated with the CNT-FAI. After the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War he joined the confederal militias, where he held various positions. In January 1937 he was appointed commander of the 59th Mixed Brigade, a unit with which he intervened in the Battle of Alfambra; his unit suffered such casualties that it was disbanded. In August 1938 he received the command of the 36th Division, on the Extremadura front. At the end of the war, he was captured by the nationalists, who subsequently imprisoned him. He was shot in the Eastern Cemetery on 26 September 1941.
