He has taught until his retirement in 2006 teaching subjects in his specialty, Physics and Chemistry, mainly. From his teaching activity he has left us several scientific and educational publications. In cultural activity, Antero Jiménez has been a vigorous "cultural activist." He promoted the investigation of popular music kept in the traditions of the towns of Jaén, with its curious lyrics, at the same time that they were sung and taken to all corners of his province. He created the Flamenco Classroom at the IES Virgen del Carmen to train young people in this art, today Intangible Heritage of Humanity. This classroom included flamenco guitar classes, flamenco dance classes and singing classes. In this area, Flamenco Days were organized (with conferences and professional performances to illustrate these conferences).
