Born in a town bordering Portugal, she was the daughter of a lawyer and a teacher, studied in Barcelona and graduated in Romance Studies from the University of Madrid, where she was taught by Rafael Lapesa and Dámaso Alonso.[1] After spending two years in Lugo and some time in Vilalonga (Sanxenxo), where she began to write Anagnórise, she arrived in Pontevedra in 1963 as a teacher (later a professor) and taught at the IES Valle-Inclán and the IES Gonzalo Torrente Ballester.
She actively participated in the cultural and political life of Pontevedra. Her fascination from a very young age with Galicia and its language led to an absolute commitment to the defence and promotion of Galician.
