In 1918, she met the prominent anarchist militant Ricardo Sanz García, who she later married. During the years 1922 and 1923, she was part of the armed libertarian action group Los Solidarios, in which she acted as a courier carrying correspondence, money and weapons to militants from Asturias, the Basque Country, Aragon and Catalonia.[1][2][3]
