Other noted performances at the Opéra-Comique were her portrayal of "Carmen" in 1901 and in "la Danse au temps de Gavarni" (The Dance in the Time of Gavarni) in 1903 in which her polka was called exquisite. Chavita saved all of her earnings, investing them carefully, and announced her retirement from the stage in 1905. She reconfirmed she was leaving Paris in 1908 and returned to Seville, where she bought real estate on Santa Clara Street, and later another house on Goyonetta Street. She outfitted her homes with modern refinements from Paris, took care of her parents in their old age, and purchased a vineyard in Jerez, which she administered for many years. Chavita's death date is unknown. In 1905, the ceiling of Paillard Restaurant of Paris, where aristocrats and royalty gathered to dine was painted with a tribute called "Women of the Twentieth Century" by Lucien-Victor Guirand de Scévola. Chavita's was one of the likenesses that was included.
