Castillo Navarro published his last book in 1974 and, although brief, his literary production has been translated into three languages ​​and studied in depth by experts such as Pedro Guerrero, Anthony Percival and the Dutch Hispanist Helena Penseel.
Among his writings he especially highlights 'Con la lengua fuera', a finalist in 1956 for the City of Barcelona prize, which he won the following year with 'Las uñas del miedo'.
In addition, in 1958 he was a finalist for the Planeta Prize with 'Manos cruzadas sobre el halda'.
