Ferrán spent part of 1863 in the  Veruela monastery, after having visited there on several previous occasions. At some point he also resided in Alcoy, where he directed the Diario de Alcoy (1865-1866), but he eventually returned to the capital city. He may have returned to collaborate on La Ilustración de Madrid that Bécquer would direct in 1868 during the revolution.
