Born in Barcelona, Lola was fertilized in Navarra, Monreal. Micaela Iturbe's mother was from here. She became pregnant as a single, so her father, Lola's grandfather, rejected her. Micaela then went to Barcelona, where she gave birth. Having no means to care for his son, Lola left a Valencian family.

He spent his first seven years in the town of Cerdá, until his mother went to look for her. Then, Lola learns that her mother was Micaela and her peaceful and free life in the small town would change radically. Together with her mother, in Barcelona, she had to start working as a maid at the Posentí house, in the kitchen and in the care of the sick daughter of her boss. But his boss's business failed shortly afterwards and they both had to leave the house. Micaela opened a small pension on Rossic Street. Lola, in addition to collaborating in the pension, was involved in sewing when she was only nine years old. And he had to leave school.

But the pension had a kind of libertarian school. It housed a large number of workers, through whom they were aware of the social and political disturbance of the moment. In so few years, life gave him a beating that added discourse and possibility of organization. And so it's no wonder that at the age of 14, the textile industry was an apprakagin who became involved in the CNT trade union.
