Rey Pastor studied mathematics in Saragossa (graduated in 1908) and received his doctorate in Madrid in 1909. In 1911 he became professor of analysis in Oviedo and in 1912 in Madrid. He then studied on a scholarship at various universities in Germany (1911 in Berlin and 1913 in Göttingen with Felix Klein ). From 1914 he taught at the Universidad Complutense in Madrid. From 1917 he also taught in Buenos Aires and switched between teaching positions in Spain and Argentina for the rest of his career. For a long time he was chairman of the Spanish Mathematical Society (he was elected in 1934, but he did not accept it until 1941 and again in 1955) and was editor of its Revista Matematica Hispano-Americana.
In 1920 he became a member of the Royal Spanish Academy of Sciences and in 1954 of the Reial Acadèmia Espanyola.
