Ramón de la Cruz

Born in Madrid, he was a clerk in the ministry of finance.

He published a selection in ten volumes (Madrid, 1786–1791).

The best of his pieces, such as Las Tertulias de Madrid, are specimens of satiric observation.

Historians acknowledge that his writings provide a vivid window into the life of late 18th century Madrid, including satirizing the customs of the different classes of the city.
