Life
He studied at the Ourense Seminary and served as a priest in several rural parishes of Ourense, until taking charge of Escornabois, in Trasmiras, where he died [1]. He contributed to O Tio Marcos d’a Portela, Valentín Lamas Carvajal’s satirical newspaper in Galician, in which he became known under the pen name Roque Grilo Berza [1]. In Spanish he wrote, together with José Manuel de Pazos, a youthful work entitled Baraja mística, published in 1888 [1].
He features in studies on the "occasional narrators" of the 19th century: the Centro Ramón Piñeiro includes a story of his in the anthology Narradores ocasionais do século XIX (Relato breve) (2003) [1].
