He was born in [[Encinas de Esgueva]] in the [[Province of Valladolid]], Spain. He graduated in the field of Biology at the [[Universidad de Salamanca]] and worked at the [[Royal Botanical Garden of Madrid]], under Santiago Castroviejo, finishing his graduate thesis "Florula of the north west of the Province of Valladolid" in 1985, and his doctoral thesis "Monograph of the neotropical genus Aragoa – Scrophulariaceae family" in 1993.

He came into contact with neotropical flora in the Royal Botanical Garden of Madrid through the historical herbaria of Mutis, Ruiz and Pavón e Isern (from Colombia, [[Peru]], [[Chile]] and [[Ecuador]]), awaking his interest in the flora of this region and of the [[Scrophulariaceae]] family in particular.

He moved to Colombia en [[1986]] to work as an intern and in 1987-1990 as a Cooperating Botanist at the AECI, in the "Flora Project of the Royal Botanical Expedition of the New Kingdon of Granada", at the Institute of Natural Sciences at the [[National University of Colombia]].
From 1991 to 2009, he was a professor and research officer at the Institute of Natural Sciences, Faculty of Science at the National University of Colombia in [[Bogotá]], training new biologists in the field of vegetable taxonomy and Colombian flora.

At the Institute, he was curator of the National Colombian Herbary from [[1996]] to [[2000]] where he collaborated with other regional herbaries from other universities around the country, which contain many of his collections of vascular plants.
In 2009 he became lead scientist at the CSIC at the Royal Botanical Garden of Madrid, to work on vegetable biodiversity in tropical areas.
