member of the Privy Council of the Count of Barcelona, encouraging the left and right to join and support the restoration of the monarchy in Spain (first with the aforementioned, and later with Juan Carlos de Borbón). Although he had lived in Madrid since 1968, he spent summers in Cercedilla, a time when he wrote his poetry books. In 1982 he received the Cervantes Prize, the most important literary award in the Spanish language. In 1970 he was appointed advisor to the director of the Institute of Hispanic Culture and in 1973, director of the Department of Cultural Activities of said Institute. Between 1986 and 1992 he collaborated periodically with the newspaper ABC, either writing in a column or publishing in the weekly supplement Blanco y Negro. The subjects of the writings in this medium were mainly music, painting and literature. His contributions included "The originality of the second part of Don Quixote", "A model of theater", "History of a sonnet" (written in different parts), "The book of sparrows", "Rafael Alberti or freedom poetics "," The temporality of Antonio Machado "," The hour of cubism "," Creative contemplation "(about Picasso) and" The wound of cante jondo ", among many others. On October 28, 1988, in the Hall of Mirrors of the Malaga City Council, he gave the lecture «And suddenly, Picasso». He died at the age of 82 on October 24, 1992 in the old Puerta de Hierro clinic in Madrid after suffering a cerebral embolism.

Vivanco, is an essay with a theme very typical of the time, imbued by the Falangist ideology and recalling past glories. In 1941 the content of the heart appeared, with a classic and loving tone. In 1949 he published the first version of La casa encendida, considered by critics his best work. The book was remade and expanded
