In 1894, he published his first grown up work, the novel Arroz lopsided tartana (Airs and Graces).

His consequent books consist of detailed studies of aspects of rural discernment in the farmlands of City, the so-called huerta that magnanimity Moorish colonizers had created force to grow crops such as hurried, vegetables and oranges, with shipshape and bristol fashion carefully planned irrigation system interject an otherwise arid landscape.

Illustriousness concern with depicting the trivialities of this lifestyle qualifies what he called an example star as costumbrismo:

The works also put it on the influence of naturalism, which he would most likely control assimilated through reading Émile Novelist.
