When the Spanish Civil War broke out, her husband joined the republican troops, leading the Popular Front Radio Station num.

The Civil War outbreak forced them in July 1936 to give up the invitation from Gabriela Mistral (by then Consul of Chile in Lisboa), before traveling to France and Belgium, to study folklore institutions in those countries, for which she had obtained a grant.
