Gabriel Celaya used to be Rafeal Gabriel Juan Múgica Celaya Leceta, and many of his works he signed his name like that. Gabriel settled in Madrid and began to study engineering and worked for a time as a Manager in the family business.[1]

Gabriel met Federico García Lorca, José Moreno Villa, and other intellectuals who turned him to the field of literature around 1927- 1935, where he devoted himself entirely to poetry. In 1946 he abandoned his profession of engineering and his position in the company of his family.

He intended to do bridge of poetry from the generation of 1927.

In 1986 he won a National prize of the Spanish literature by the Ministry of culture. The same year he published “Open world”.

The work of Celaya is great synthesis of almost concerns and styles of Spanish poetry of the 20th century.

Unfortunately Celaya died on April 18, 1991 in Madrid and his were scattered in his native Hernani.
