Did Rubén Darío have a wife?
Rubén Darío
In 1899, Rubén Darío, who was still legally married to Rosario Murillo, met Francisca Sánchez del Pozo in the Casa de Campo of Madrid. Francisca was from Navalsauz in the province of Ávila and would be his companion through the last years of his life. In April 1900, Darío visited Paris for a second time, commissioned by "La Nación" to cover the Exposition Universelle that took place that year in the French capital city. His chronicles about this topic would later be compiled in the book "Peregrinaciones".
Rubén González Cárdenas
On January 26, 1904, in San Cristóbal he marries his distant cousin Vicenta de los Dolores Martínez Vivas, better known as Doña Dolores, a woman known for her great intelligence, singular tact and sharp tongue. Doña Dolores would outlive Rubén González Cárdenas 26 years until her death on January 19, 1965. From this union four children were born: César, Blanca, Tulia, Elvia and Ana Clotilde.
