Works
Camacho became famous for his poems and short stories in the late 1980s, for which he received several prizes in the Belartaj Konkursoj de UEA. In 1992 he won the Grabowski Prize, a prize for young authors writing in Esperanto. The prize is named after Antoni Grabowski.
Camacho was in the early 1990s considered a member of the so-called Ibera Skolo ("Iberian School") of Esperanto writers along with three other inhabitants of the Iberian peninsula.
In the 1990s, Camacho began to publicly oppose Giorgio Silfer for his interpretation of the political view "Raumism". He wrote La Majstro kaj Martinelli ("The Master and Martinelli"), a biting satire of Silfer (inspired by the similarly titled novel of Mikhail Bulgakov), and criticised his ideology in La liturgio de la foiro ("The Liturgy of the Fair").
