He improved his formation under the direction of Vega y Verdugo in the works at Santiago's cathedral. Vega y Verdugo asked him to design the Quintana façade and the tabernacle. In 1673, he worked in the choir of St Martín Pinario and one year later, he started his masterpiece: the convent and church of the Mercedarian nuns in Santiago de Compostela, which was finished in 1689.
