Although Father Hilario was used to telling legends and tales to children, often ac- companying himself on a small harmonium, for several years, he also exclusively told sto- ries on sacred themes. His method of telling stories was well-known, as they were given in a pleasant, attractive, and artistic manner. As a result, the radio station of Conception (where he was parish priest for five years), and also of Valparaiso broadcast his stories, ac- companied by descriptive music of his own invention, and played by him on a grand piano. Return to Navarre In 1963, Father Hilario came back to Spain and took residence in the Convent of San Antonio in Pamplona, where he gave himself fully to his artistic activities 22 . He took every opportunity to broadcast his stories with improvised accompaniment on radio and televi- sion, and made several musical tours of Europe, bringing to his audiences the sound of the txistu and tambourine. Father Hilario died in Pamplona on 28 June 1973, and he was buried in his hometown of Estella (Navarra).
