Celso Emilio goes in for a public examination and gets the post of Secretary —and later Justice Chief— of the Pontevedra’s Tax Office (Fiscalía de Tasas de Pontevedra), where he worked between 1941 and 1950. At this time, he writes poems, stories and articles and he gets strongly involved into the city’s cultural life. He joins social gatherings in cafes such as Carabela and Imperial.
