The next day, January 3, 1890, more than three hundred crowns besieged his home in the Plaza de Oriente, completely full. The Real's orchestra, chorus and bass began the fourth act of La Favorita . Upon reaching the Gentile Spirto they suddenly fell silent. Snow fell heavily on the crowd. The f retro was sent by train to Pamplona. In the Provincial Council, after the great parade, Joaqun Maya and his teachers, with a few people, among them Arturo Campi n, in the light of the candles, contemplated for a moment, barely visible, "a face of life, straight ahead noble, with a grim brow and pained expression, to which death did not impose his cold impassivity". This is what Campi n says in his "Gau-illa". Then, with collected pity, they play only for that poor dead man. In Roncal, in the middle of the snow, the whole valley was waiting. He was buried in a provisional tomb until Benlliure built the beautiful mausoleum where he currently rests.
