In 1616 he submitted four poems to a contest of the chapel of the Sagrario in Toledo.
He signed them with the pseudonyms Trepus Ruitanus Lamira and Juan Pablo Ricci.
He is especially remembered for the Latin satire Spongia (Paris, 1617), written probably in collaboration with Juan Pablo Mártir Rizo.
The original work has been lost, due to its destruction by the enemies of Torres, but it was reconstructed by Joaquín de Entrambasaguas in his Una guerra literaria del Siglo de Oro: Lope de Vega y los preceptistas aristotélicos, Madrid, 1932.
Torres Rámila served Cristóbal Suárez de Figueroa as the model of the character of the teacher in his El pasajero.
