He was born in Pamplona on June 26, 1901, and died on August 5, 1992, in Quito, Ecuador.\nBacca began his education under the Claretians and was ordained as a priest in 1925. He continued his studies at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, the University of Zurich, and the University of Paris. However, during the 1930s, he left the Church and pursued philosophy at the University of Barcelona. In 1936 after criticizing Francisco Franco, Bacca was forced to live in exile. He first traveled to Ecuador where he taught at the Central University of Ecuador from 1939 to 1942. While in Ecuador, he became close friends with a writer named Alfredo Pareja Diezcanseco.
