"Such was her dominance in the dance that in the 1920s, when she was in her sixties, she still drew crowds as a headliner in the major cabarets of Sevilla and Madrid." In part, however, she performed out of necessity, caused by the loss of much of her wealth in a house break-in. Stolen was a small fortune in "cash and jewels". Eventually, however, her "cafés-cantantes" era fame had faded; she then mostly performed in "colmaos" (flamenco taverns) and "ventas" in Sevilla. "Occasionally benefits would be held in her honor".
